Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 6 slices thick-cut bread (such as brioche or challah)
Eggnog Mixture:
- 1 cup eggnog
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Additional:
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
- Powdered sugar and maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, letting it soak for a few seconds on each side.
- Place the soaked bread on the hot skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve warm with powdered sugar and maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for best texture—it holds up better to the custard.
- You can also add a splash of rum extract for extra holiday flavor.
