What You’ll Need:

Every year, never fail, we are given eggnog as a gift. This year was no exception. I opened our door to find a care package from my parents with the beverage nestled safely in the middle. THIS is one of may ways to help you use up leftover eggnog.

  • Bread
  • Eggs
  • Eggnog
  • Spices
  • Syrup- From the store or a homemade syrup!

Special thanks to my friends at St Pierre who sent me a box of their INCREDIBLE bread just before the holidays! (Not sponsored. Just love their breads).

Ingredients for eggnog french toast

Step by Step Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the eggs, eggnog, and spices in a shallow bowl (affiliate) that is wide enough to dip your bread. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet (affiliate) over low/medium heat. You want it to be right around, or just below, 300 degrees. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter or mist with cooking spray- I recommend coconut oil spray (affiliate).
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture and turn to coat fully. Lift out of the egg mixture allowing excess to drip off.
  4. Place in your preheated pan. Cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Continue with the remaining slices.
  5. Serve immediately with warmed syrup or fresh fruit.

Tips and FAQs:

Tips for Amazing Eggnog French Toast:

  • Use day old bread. This sounds odd, but day old bread will be a little dryer and able to soak up the custard. It is delicious.
  • Add grated orange zest for a pop of freshness. We do this for all of our French toast and pancake recipes during the holiday season.
  • Cook on a lower temperature. This might take a tad longer, but the French toast will cook perfectly all the way through.
  • Get creative with your toppings! Use warm maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit!

Best bread for French toast:

Really, you can make French toast with almost any bread type. Our personal favorites are challah or brioche. Both are slightly sweeter and a little more dense. Which allows them to soak up the custard and flavor.

How to make eggnog French toast overnight:

  1. Spray a 9×12 baking pan with non stick spray.
  2. Arrange the bread slices in the pan in an even layer.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, eggnog, cinnamon, and spices. Pour over the top.
  4. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  5. In the morning, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  6. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden on top.
