Eggnog French Toast Recipe
Add some holiday cheer to your breakfast with our eggnog French toast recipe. Sweet French toast made with seasonal spices and non-alcoholic eggnog!
Today is Christmas in the United States. For us, that means a special breakfast. Last year, I believe we made cinnamon French toast. For this year, we wanted to add a little extra kick of holiday cheer without the alcohol. I don’t mind the occasional drink, but I try to avoid rum for breakfast.
Another great breakfast recipe is our overnight blueberry French toast casserole or Eggnog Bread. So, for today’s post, we’re sharing Kim’s eggnog French toast. The rum extract is optional. You don’t have to use it. Shall we get started!
How to make eggnog French toast?
First, in a shallow bowl, baking dish, or plastic container use a whisk or fork to combine the eggs, eggnog, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and rum extract.
After that, melt 1/2 tablespoon of the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
Next, dip 1-2 pieces of the Texas toast into the eggnog mixture. Be sure to coat both sides of the bread in the batter.
Then, transfer the uncooked toast to the skillet to cook for about three (3) minutes on each side.
Once the French toast is cooked, move it to a plate and place it somewhere warm.
Last, repeat the dipping and cooking steps until all the bread or batter is gone. Serve the toast warm with your favorite toppings
That’s it, your eggnog French toast recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy this holiday themed breakfast and wish you all the best 🙂
French Toast Tips:
- If needed, use tongs to stand the toast up on it’s sides so that all 4 sides are cooked as well.
- Be sure to use a paper towel to wipe out the skillet between batches. Otherwise, the butter will burn.
- You can substitute non-stick cooking spray in place of the butter. But, you’ll still need to wipe the skillet between batches of French toast.
