Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 cup eggnog
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the eggnog mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined and smooth, forming the custard base for dipping.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Dip the bread: Take each slice of bread and dip it thoroughly into the eggnog mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated for maximum flavor and moisture.
- Cook the French toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and develop a slightly crispy exterior.
- Serve warm: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately. Enhance the dish with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- For best results, use slightly stale bread as it soaks up the eggnog mixture better without falling apart.
- Adjust the cinnamon amount to suit your taste preference.
- You can substitute butter with oil or non-dairy butter for a dairy-free option.
- Serve with fresh berries or whipped cream for added texture and flavor.
- Store any leftover French toast in the refrigerator and reheat on a skillet or toaster for best texture.
