Simplest Eggnog French Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk the eggs in a medium mixing bowl. Pour in the eggnog and whisk in pinches of salt and nutmeg. Set aside. Butter a baking dish, then cut the bread into 1 1/2-inch slices. Dip the bread into the eggnog mixture, making sure it absorbs the liquid, and place in the baking dish. It's okay to cut a few slices in half so they fit into the smaller spaces.
• Sprinkle with another pinch of nutmeg, then build another layer of French toast. Pour the remaining liquid over the casserole, lightly pressing down to ensure all of the bread has soaked up the liquid. (At this point, the French toast can be covered and refrigerated overnight, if you like.) Bake 1 hour, rotating the pan after 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture begins to boil; remove the mixture from heat, and pour into the prepared baking dish. Place the bread slices atop the brown sugar mixture.
• Whisk the eggs and eggnog together in a large bowl; pour over the bread slices. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Increase heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), remove the aluminum foil, and continue baking until the the top begins to brown, 5 to 7 minutes more.

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs. eggnog, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a mixing bowl until well blended. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish.
• Preheat an electric skillet to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease the skillet.
• Dip one slice of bread at a time into the eggnog mixture, being sure to coat each side of the bread thoroughly.
• Place the prepared bread slices into the preheated skillet, and cook, turning once, until golden brown on each side. Place cooked slices on a serving plate and cover with foil to keep warm until all French toast is cooked. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine eggs, sugar, nutmeg, eggnog, and rum extract, and stir well.
• Place bread slices into a lightly greased 9 x 13" pan in one layer.
• Drizzle egg mixture over each bread slice. There will be excess that will flow down to the bottom of the pan - it will be soaked up by the bread while in the refrigerator.
• Cover the pan and refrigerate. Turn once during an 8 hour or overnight period.
• When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400°F.
• Carefully pour the melted butter into a 15" jelly roll pan.
• Move the french toast into the newly prepared pan, still in a single layer.
• Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden.
• Serve with your favorite toppings - some ideas include syrup, extra eggnog, powdered sugar, nutmeg, or cranberries and cranberry sauce.

Steps:

• Pour eggnog into a shallow bowl, and add grated orange and cinnamon.
• Dip bread slices into the eggnog mixture, turning to coat both sides.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 or 3 slices of bread and fry until golden brown on both sides.
• Repeat with remaining bread and butter.
• Serve warm with powdered sugar, maple syrup, compote, or all three!
