Eggnog French Toast puts a festive twist on classic french toast for a simple, yet decadent holiday breakfast.

Eggnog French Toast
Cook's Notes: Be sure to use a hearty bread like sourdough, challah or brioche as it soaks up the eggnog batter without falling apart.
Recipe adapted from ourlifetastesgood.com and makes 6 large slices or 8-10 smaller sized pieces. It can easily be doubled. Be sure to use real warmed maple syrup as it makes a difference in the flavor. Add fresh fruit with a meat side and you'll be off to a great start for the day.

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf hearty bread
• 3 eggs
• ¾ cups eggnog
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon Saigon Cinnamon or 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• Dash of nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• Real maple syrup

Directions:

• Cut loaf into thick slices.
• Preheat griddle and grease with butter or PAM.
• Beat eggs, eggnog, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well combined. Place eggnog mixture in a shallow bowl. Soak each bread slice and toast on the griddle until golden brown on both sides.
