Description
A simple recipe for baked French toast using eggnog for a rich flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices thick bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange the bread slices in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Pour the eggnog mixture evenly over the bread slices, making sure all pieces are coated.
- Let the bread soak for 15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the soaked bread.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the French toast is set and lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Use slightly stale bread for better absorption of the liquid.
- You can substitute regular milk for half of the eggnog if you prefer a less intense flavor.
- Serve with maple syrup if desired.
