Ingredients

For the Eggnog Mixture

4 large large eggs, room temperature Use fresh, organic eggs for best flavor.
1.25 cups eggnog, room temperature Feel free to use homemade or your favorite brand.
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Skip imitation extract if possible.
1 teaspoon cinnamon A warm spice that complements eggnog perfectly.
0.5 teaspoon nutmeg Freshly grated is best for a more intense flavor.
0.125 teaspoon kosher salt A hint to elevate all flavors.

For the French Toast

10-12 slices brioche bread Use a good quality brioche for the best texture.
Maple syrup for topping Pure maple syrup is a must.
Eggnog whipped cream for topping Optional but delicious addition.

Method

Preparation

Preheat a griddle to between 350°F and 375°F, lightly spraying with nonstick cooking spray if necessary.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt until smooth and well-combined.

Cooking

Dip a slice of brioche into the eggnog mixture, coating both sides without soaking it.
Place the coated slice on the preheated griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve immediately, topped with maple syrup and a dollop of eggnog whipped cream.

Notes

Ensure your eggs and eggnog are at room temperature for smooth blending. You can substitute dairy-free eggnog and non-dairy milk.
