This morning, I decided to wake up early and make breakfast for my parents. I chose French toast because it’s my Dad’s favorite. As I reached into the refrigerator to grab the milk for the egg mixture, I accidentally grabbed the eggnog. Instead of putting it back, I decided to use it and make an eggnog flavored French toast. And boy was this the best accident ever!
Ingredients: *6 large eggs, *1 1/4 cup egg nog, *1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon, *1 packet stevia, *1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, *8 slices whole grain bread.
-You can use any kind of eggnog, all egg whites, any kind of bread, and real sugar for replacements.
-Whisk eggs, eggnog, cinnamon, stevia, and nutmeg together.
Grease a frying pan with olive oil, butter, or cooking spray. Turn it up on high. Dip the bread into the eggnog/egg mixture and add it to the hot skillet. Cook each side until golden brown. As soon as I take it off the skillet, I put it in the toaster for 20 seconds to crisp the edges. You can sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top for more sweetness.
This recipe makes 8 slices of eggnog french toast.
I served the french toast with roasted turkey bacon and garlic eggs. I’ll post the egg recipe soon.
This is hands down the best French toast I have ever made and I can’t wait to make it again. You can make healthy swaps if you want. Try only egg whites, lighter egg nog, and low cal bread. This would be great for a holiday brunch!

I’ve never ever tried eggnog before. Am i missing out?
Kristin C says
Its is very good, so you should try it, but it is also very rich.
Hamster says
It is super disgusting. Kind of like drinking phlegm. I think you either love it or hate it. I am the latter.

Hoping that they have the Silk Holiday Nog at my grocery store!
Taralynn McNitt says
If they don’t, I also like SODELICIOUS brand! I like it better than silk.
Laura says
Yum! Looks super good, I’ll have to try it!
Kristin C says
Looks awesome! I don’t think I’ve ever made French toast actually. Now I’m hungry. Where do you by SODELICIOUS, Taralynn?

What an excellent mistake — and a genius idea to keep going with it! I want to make this ASAP for a friend’s Christmas brunch!
Carley @ Optimistic Health says
Hmmm I can’t remember if I like Eggnog lol so maybe I’ll give this a try!!
Heather says
Made this on Saturday morning. My husband, little boy and I all loved it! I’m so glad you told us about the toasting for 20 seconds tip! I’ve never thought of that, but it worked perfectly. Since my son is only 1 1/2 and likes to put syrup in his hair. I sliced his to make french toast sticks and sprinkled a little powdered sugar on them and he ate it all up!

This looks perfect!! 😀
