- Guys, today, we're making eggnog French toast.
I love French toast.
I have several recipes for French toast on this channel,
which I will link below for you.
But if you're an eggnog lover like I am,
you can take that carton that you buy,
or maybe you're making your own homemade
and using it to make an awesome breakfast
that you're going to love.
So super simple recipe.
I've got two eggs,
which I'm going to whisk in this shallow dish.
And now, I'm using store-bought eggnog, like I mentioned,
but you can use whatever you like.
They even have dairy-free eggnog out there,
so if you need a dairy-free recipe,
this can be made dairy-free.
And what I love about eggnog it's that it's thicker.
It already has a little bit
of that cinnamon nutmeg spices in it,
so it already has flavor
that's going to infuse into your French toast.
Now, but I do like a little extra.
So I'm adding just a pinch of nutmeg into my bowl
because a little bit of extra, it's extra.
Take a fork and let's whisk this mixture up.
So now that our eggs and the eggnog are half combined,
and the yolks and the whites are all mixed in there,
we take our sliced bread.
I'm using thicker brioche bread.
It's a little sweeter.
It's already going to be amazing for French toast,
but you can use Texas Toast or sandwich bread,
or even thick French bread that you can slice crosswise
and dip it in the egg mixture.
So I simply just take it in there.
You could even use gluten-free bread.
So yes, you can make gluten-free French toast
with this recipe.
So in this shallow dish,
I'm going to soak up my egg and eggnog mixture,
and then I'm just going to flip it.
The first side is just a little bit,
and then the second side is where
the liquid is going to seep up into your bread
and soak through.
I'm poking a few holes in my sliced bread
to help the mixture seep through the bread
and get absorbed in here.
So I've just prepped these first two slices,
and in my large nonstick pan,
I'm going to heat up a little bit of butter,
but you could also spray it or use a griddle.
Now, this recipe makes enough for four slices.
So you don't want to leave your first two so long
that you don't have enough for your other one,
or your bread gets really soggy,
so you want to kind of do enough so it soaks through
and then turn them into your pan right away.
So the first side is going to cook on medium,
medium-high heat for about a minute or two,
just enough to get it golden brown,
and once that's achieved,
I'm going to flip these French toasts over,
and I'm going to lower my heat and cover it,
so the heat gets trapped inside of my pan
and my French toast cooks through.
And these smell amazing.
I know they are ready
because not only have they cooked through,
but as you can see, the tops have a fluffy-like texture.
So that's how you know your French toast,
the liquid inside has cooked through.
It begins to kind of bubble up a little, just like this.
And let's take these out.
Now, this eggnog French toast is awesome as is.
You can, of course, use some maple syrup, pancake syrup,
cinnamon syrup like I have, or even if you're totally out,
but do have brown sugar in your pantry,
go ahead and make my homemade syrup.
I'll leave the links right below this video.
So let's drizzle some over this, so you and I get to enjoy
this delicious French toast together.
It feels like a treat, but not quite for breakfast,
kinda like my "Clean Treats" cookbook,
which I will also link a regular this video for you.
Check this out.
So good. You're going to love this.
