Ingredients
French Toast
- 8 slices bread of your choice
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup eggnog
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Optional finishing touches
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg and pour into a shallow dish, such as a small sheet pan or a pie plate.
- Warm large nonstick pan, or electric griddle, to medium heat. Spread 1 teaspoon of butter on the surface. Dip bread in egg mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly.
- Place a piece of bread in the pan and cook 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown. Flip over and cook 2-3 minutes on the other side. Place on a wire rack set on a sheet pan (to prevent sogginess) and keep warm in a 200° oven. Repeat with the rest of the bread.
- If using, whisk powdered sugar with cinnamon until fully combined. Sprinkle with cinnamon powdered sugar and serve with warm maple syrup.
Notes
Use any bread you like. I used brioche, but challah, or even everyday white bread will work. The thicker the slices, the better.
