Picturing Eggnog French Toast

Don't know what to do with leftover eggnog? You could always make my Eggnog Cookies. Or you could bust out the bread and make yourself some eggnog French toast. Two yummy solutions.

We used challah, but you can use whatever bread you've got. Soak the slices in eggnog that you've accented with whatever complementary flavors you have on hand. For example, add a splash of vanilla extract, a few teaspoons of cinnamon or nutmeg, or maybe even a dash of ginger or pumpkin pie spice.

Fry the soaked bread slices in butter until the bread warms all the way through and is brown and toasty--about 2-3 minutes on each side. Top with maple syrup and a big, honkin' dollop of butter. (Paul Deen...paging Paula Deen!) It's the holidays on a plate.

Update: This was Jon's creation. He's the breakfast maven around here.

This looks so-o-o good! I think we'll be having this for breakfast when you come home for Christmas.

This does look delicious! If you stop in Teaneck on your way to MA, you can pick up the best challah at Butterflake Bakery.

Oooh, eggnog french toast! I HAVE to make this! /=P Though I wish the bakeries in my town made challah or brioche, it's so difficult to find these yummy breads here.

Hi, Mumma. It's a deal!

Hi, Lorraine. Mmmmm...Butterflake! That's a great idea. :-)

Hi, Amelia. You really do need a sturdy bread for this so that it soaks up all the liquid. Oh bread...it's my downfall! I wonder if Italian would do as a replacement for challah or brioche...

this looks like heaven! Might have to make this too! My mom is looking at the instructions and drooling!

Hi, April. This is a really good way to get rid of leftover eggnog. I came up with this after I made my Eggnog Cookies. It's really good! Just add whatever spices you want. Extra cinnamon and nutmeg are really yummy!
