Ingredients

4 slices thick white bread (brioche or Texas toast works great)
1 cup eggnog
4 large eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons butter for cooking
Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, ground nutmeg

Instructions

In a large wide bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
2. Lay each slice of bread in the mixture, turning to coat both sides. Do not oversaturate so the bread falls apart. Allow excess liquid to drip off.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add some butter.
Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Serve immediately with maple syrup on the side. For a special occasion, pipe some whipped cream on top and sprinkle a little nutmeg over it.

Notes

STORE/FREEZE/REHEAT

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container or wrap tightly in foil, then refrigerate for up to 2-4 days.

Freeze cooled slices on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once they’re frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container, placing parchment paper between slices for easy removal later. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

Reheat slices in a toaster, toaster oven, or bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
