Eggnog French Toast
- 1 cup prepared eggnog (regular or lite)
- 6 eggs
- 14 teaspoon eggnog extract (optional)
- 14 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly ground
- 6 -10 slices bread
- maple syrup or butter and powdered sugar
- Heat griddle or large frying pan on low.
- Pour eggnog into 4-cup measuring cup.
- Add eggs, extract, and nutmeg.
- Whisk well to combine.
- Pour into a rectangular baking dish (7" x 11") or a large pie plate.
- Submerge two slices of bread side by side in eggnoggy liquid, moving them around with your fingers to make sure they are covered.
- After a minute or so, turn bred over by hand and submerge again.
- Aftr about two or so minutes total in the egg bath, bread should be pretty soggy.
- If it isn't (perhaps because it was very dry to start with), let it soak a bit longer.
- Melt a little butter on the hot griddle.
- Place egg-soaked bread on hot griddle (and immediately put two more pieces of bead into the egg mixture to keep your momentum going).
- Cook French Toast 1-2 minutes and the, using a spatula, flip each piece over and cook another 1-2 minutes on the second side.
- Poke the bread with your finger and if it is squishy in the center, let it cook longer.
- If it is slightly firm, it is done.
- Remove cooked toast to plate, and serve with real maple syrup or butter and powdered sugar.
- NOTE: You can make a double batch of French toast and freeze half for another occasion.
- Just prepare as above, but place slices on a rack to cool.
- Stack the toast with waxed paper inbetween (so they won't freeze together) and place the stack in a zipper top plastic bag.
- Remove air from the bag, seal and freeze.
- Toast may be reheated in the toaster or even the microwave.
