How do I store my eggnog french toast?
- After cooking, wrap the French toast in aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If it is not used within this time period, you can store the bread in a heavy-duty sealed plastic bag and store in the freezer for two to three months.
Do I have to use homemade eggnog?
- You can choose to use whichever type of eggnog you prefer. Store-bought eggnog is an easier and quicker option if you are in a rush. However, homemade eggnog does tend to taste better, so it makes for more delicious French toast.
Can I prepare this meal the night before?
- You can prepare this meal the night before and let the bread soak in the mixture overnight. However, when cooking the next day, be careful when removing the bread, as it may fall apart easier.
How to make Eggnog French Toast
- Set bread out overnight to harden, or use stale or day-old bread. (Fresh bread will work, but stale bread will hold up against more liquid, which makes a more stable French toast).
- Whisk together eggs, eggnog, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Dip each side of the bread in eggnog mixture until both sides are coated.
- Place soaked bread on a hot, buttered pan and cook until golden brown on each side.
- Serve French toast warm with optional toppings.
