Eggnog French Toast
Ingredients
- 1 cup eggnog
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of ground nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 slices thickly-sliced bread
- optional toppings: powdered sugar, maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggnog, egg, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt together until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat until melted. Meanwhile, dip a slice of bread in the eggnog mixture so that it is coated on both sides. Tap on the side of the bowl to shake off the excess.
- Place bread in the sauté pan and cook on medium-high on each side for 3 minutes, or until browned and toasted. Remove and repeat with remaining slices of bread until they are all toasted.
- Serve French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup if desired.
Mouthwatering! This french toast looks divine :)
