As I write this post, I’ve got the Jackson 5 Christmas album on full blast and a full plate of my eggnog french toast, candied bacon and hash browns ready to enjoy. And let me tell y’all my eggnog french toast recipe is just sensational. I dip challah in a spiced eggnog custard then fry it up until golden. It just doesn’t get any better than this.

How to Make Eggnog French Toast
Step 1: In a medium sized bowl, whisk together eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and rum. Dip slices one at a time into the egg mixture making sure the mixture soaks into the bread.
Step 2: Now heat a lightly greased skillet or cast iron skillet over the stove. I use butter with a little oil. Fry the bread slices on each side until golden brown. Remove French toast to a plate, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve hot with butter and syrup.

Notes
To Store and reheat
Stack the french toast in an airtight container or in a ziptop bag with parchment in between. It should be all good for up to 3 days. You can also freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, add to the oven at 350 for about 8 minutes or until warmed through or you can reheat on the stovetop with melted butter. I don’t suggest microwaving.Nutrition
Recipe Tips
- Whisk Properly: You don’t want bits of egg white showing up on your browned slices. Make sure to whisk, vigorously, until the dairy, eggs, and spices are well-combined.
- Don’t Undersoak: The quick-dip is not the way to go! The bread has to soak in the egg mixture because you really want that mixture to penetrate the bread. I suggest letting the bread soak for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat the Pan: If the pan isn’t hot enough when you place the first slice, the custard spreads out and forms a puddle. No good. When the pan is hot enough, the custard will start cooking as soon as it hits the pan. That’s how we get that golden brown boos.
- Watch the Heat: If you cook the french toast at a high heat, the sugar in the egg mixture will caramelize and burn before the inside is cooked. If the heat is too low, the bread will dry out before you know it.
- Keep Warm in the Oven: I like to keep my finished slices in a preheated oven of 200 degrees on a baking dish so they stay warm.

Excellent recipe. I was able to make 11 pieces of French toast using regular whole wheat bread. I froze the extra pieces for an easy breakfast for another day. My eggs were xtra large so it increased the amount of custard.
