Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 slices thick bread brioche, challah, or Texas toast
  • Butter for frying
Optional Toppings:
  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh berries

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, eggnog, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, coating both sides evenly.
  4. Place on the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  5. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale or day-old bread for the best texture.
  • Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
  • For a richer flavor, sprinkle extra nutmeg before serving.
