Description
A simple baked French toast recipe using eggnog for a rich flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf (about 1 pound) stale bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups eggnog
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange the bread cubes evenly in the prepared dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the eggnog mixture evenly over the bread cubes. Press the bread down gently to absorb the liquid.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Remove the dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before baking.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Let the bake rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
- Use bread that is slightly stale for the best texture.
- You can substitute milk for some of the eggnog if you prefer a less rich flavor.
