OVERNIGHT EGGNOG FRENCH TOAST
Delicious and so easy, it'll become a Christmas morning tradition! Needs no syrup. Whipped cream and sliced fruit like strawberries and bananas are great on top! Instead of eggnog, you can use whole milk and add a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a tablespoon of vanilla.

Steps:
- Grease two 15x10 inch baking pans.
- In a large bowl combine the eggs, half-and-half, sugar, nutmeg, vanilla and rum extract.

- Pour egg mixture over the bread in the pans.

- Bake one pan at a time for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- NOTE: You can bake both pans at the same time, but be sure to switch the pans in the over halfway through the baking time.
Tips:
- Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better, resulting in a more flavorful and less soggy French toast.
- Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly: Make sure the eggs, milk, spices, and sugar are well combined to ensure an even distribution of flavor throughout the French toast.
- Soak the bread for the right amount of time: Soak the bread in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This allows the bread to absorb the flavors and become tender.
- Cook the French toast over medium heat: Cooking the French toast over medium heat prevents it from burning and allows it to cook evenly.
- Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served immediately after cooking, while it's still warm and crispy.
