Holiday French Toast

 

 

 

 

 

Want to try something a little festive for breakfast this holiday season? Try this yummy French Toast made with egg nog...adding a little rum flavoring sends it over the top in flavor!

I didn't take pictures of the preparation steps, but most of you know it doesn't take much to whip together the egg dip.  You can use regular bread slices, but the French bread cut in thicker slices, makes it, oh, so good! 

Here's the Recipe:

Holiday French Toast

Serves: 6

12 slices French bread, cut in 3/4-inch slices

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups   eggnog
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon rum extract
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Maple syrup

1.  Arrange bread slices on a cookie sheet.

2.  Whisk together eggnog, sugar, nutmeg, and rum extract.  Pour over bread slices.
3.  Turn bread over to coat.  Let sit until egg mixture is all absorbed.
4.  Cook on heated  griddle until golden brown.  Turn and cook on other side. 
5.  Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with almonds.
