Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup eggnog
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons bourbon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 loaf French bread, cut into 8 slices
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, if using frozen do not thaw
1 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 teaspoons bourbon (more or less to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine the eggnog, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla, bourbon (if using), nutmeg, and sugar; beat well and set aside. Arrange sliced bread in a large shallow bowl. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread, being sure every piece is soaked in the liquid. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). In a small saucepan over medium heat melt the butter. Remove from heat and whisk in the brown sugar and maple syrup. Spread this mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan. Carefully arrange the soaked bread on top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the bread is firm and lightly golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm!
  • Combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1/4 cup of water in a medium saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a light simmer, stirring frequently, until sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the cranberries and stir to coat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cranberries to a wire rack and let dry for at least 30 minutes.
  • When the 30 minutes are up, roll the cranberries in remaining sugar, working in small batches and tossing until well coated. Set aside to dry for at least 1 hour.
  • In a medium-sized bowl combine the maple syrup, butter, bourbon, and vanilla. Drizzle over french toast right before serving.

EGGNOG FRENCH TOAST



Eggnog French Toast image

"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."

Provided by Sebastien Rouxel

Categories     main-dish

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 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.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, main course

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 for a crispier French toast.
  • For a richer flavor, use a mixture of whole milk and heavy cream instead of just milk.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a large skillet instead.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Overnight Eggnog Baked French Toast is a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch recipe that is perfect for the holidays. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a warm and comforting dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
