EGGNOG FRENCH TOAST

"During the holidays," says chef Rouxel, "I like to make French toast with eggnog instead of milk. It's a simple recipe, with fewer ingredients than your usual French toast, and it tastes just like Christmas."

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large eggs
1 quart eggnog
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pinch salt
1 loaf brioche bread
2 pinches ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk the eggs in a medium mixing bowl. Pour in the eggnog and whisk in pinches of salt and nutmeg. Set aside. Butter a baking dish, then cut the bread into 1 1/2-inch slices. Dip the bread into the eggnog mixture, making sure it absorbs the liquid, and place in the baking dish. It's okay to cut a few slices in half so they fit into the smaller spaces.
  • Sprinkle with another pinch of nutmeg, then build another layer of French toast. Pour the remaining liquid over the casserole, lightly pressing down to ensure all of the bread has soaked up the liquid. (At this point, the French toast can be covered and refrigerated overnight, if you like.) Bake 1 hour, rotating the pan after 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold.

EGGNOG FRENCH TOAST

This is a recipe you'll want to use year round, but since it uses eggnog it makes it an extra special holiday treat that my family requests weekly! To make it even more flavorful, soak and refrigerate the bread overnight in a large baking dish. Serve warm with powdered sugar and syrup if you like. The French toast goes well with scrambled eggs, too. Enjoy!

EGGNOG OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST



Eggnog Overnight French Toast image

Like a good pitcher of eggnog, this French toast is rich, sweet, boozy and covered in nutmeg. Slicing the bread but keeping the base connected not only makes this an attractive breakfast centerpiece, it also feeds family and friends with little effort since all the servings bake simultaneously. Allowing it to soak in the refrigerator overnight deepens the dish's flavors. Don't worry about forcing the bread pieces apart when pouring in the soaking mixture: The loaf will flower naturally as it bakes. This dish is sweet enough to eat without a final drench in maple syrup, but it's great with a mountain of fresh, tart berries. A little homemade whipped cream wouldn't hurt either.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16-ounce) day-old, plain country bread loaf (oblong or similarly shaped)
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon dark rum, brandy or bourbon
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Freshly grated nutmeg, for dusting
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Have a rimmed dish or pan (about 1 inch deep) that fits the bread loaf snugly nearby. Using a serrated knife, slice a very thin layer (about 1/16 inch) off the bottom of the loaf to expose the surface for better batter absorption. Cut the top of the bread in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices, being sure not to cut all the way through and leaving about 1/2 inch of bread at the bottom uncut. Then turn the loaf 90 degrees and cut 1 1/2-inch slices in the other direction to make a grid-like pattern, again, not cutting all the way through. Transfer the cut loaf to the dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, cream, melted butter, rum, vanilla and salt until well combined. Slowly pour the batter into the loaf beginning in the center. Gently peel back all the pieces to drench every crevice and the top of the loaf with the batter. Allow to soak for 30 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate up to overnight.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Spoon any excess batter that has pooled into the dish back into the loaf and over any dry patches of bread. Carefully transfer the loaf to the lined baking sheet, and bake until the loaf is deeply golden brown on top and the custard has set, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and dust with the nutmeg and confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread will absorb more of the eggnog mixture, resulting in a richer, more flavorful French toast.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the French toast, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly.
  • Cook over medium heat: Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Once the French toast is golden brown on one side, flip it only once. Flipping it too often will make the bread tough.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the French toast immediately after cooking. This will ensure that it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Eggnog spiced French toast is a delicious and festive way to start your day. With its eggnog-infused custard and warm spices, this French toast is sure to put you in the holiday spirit. Serve it with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit, and enjoy!
