Equipment

  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 stand mixer (or hand mixer)
  • 1 9 x 13 baking dish
  • beeswax wrap or plastic wrap

Ingredients

Eggnog French Toast

  • 1 loaf challah or brioche bread (left out for 1-2 days)
  • 2 cups eggnog
  • 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup (see notes)
  • 4 eggs (see note)
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon (reserve two teaspoons)

Eggnog Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon eggnog
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon sugar (made earlier)
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • teaspoon rum extract (optional)

For Serving

Instructions

  • The night before or at least one hour before, take the bread and arrange it into a baking dish.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, and maple syrup.
  • Pour this mixture evenly overtop of the bread. Cover the dish with beeswax wrap or plastic wrap and place it in the fridge.
  • When you are ready to bake, pull out the dish and let it sit on the counter while the oven preheats at 375℉.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine the cinnamon and coconut sugar. Set aside at least two teaspoons of the cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle the rest overtop of the French toast.
  • Bake the French toast for 40 minutes. Cover the dish if the bread browns too quickly.
  • To make eggnog whipped cream, whip the heavy cream, eggnog, cinnamon sugar, nutmeg, and rum extract (optional) until the cream forms stiff peaks.
  • Serve the French toast warm with eggnog whipped cream, powdered sugar (optional), and maple syrup. Happy holidays!

Notes

If the eggnog you are using already has a lot of eggs or sugar, you can leave out or reduce the eggs and maple syrup.
