Ingredients
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 6 slices Thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 0 as desired Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Step 2
Place the bread slices on a large plate or baking tray and sprinkle the raisins evenly over them, pressing lightly to make the raisins stick.
Step 3
Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly soaked.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter.
Step 5
Place 3 slices of the soaked bread with raisins into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Step 6
Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked French toast to a serving platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.
