Eggnog french toast using leftover eggnog (I used Southern Comfort eggnog from store) makes easy, delicious french toast for Christmas breakfast or any holiday breakfast or snack!
Eggnog is the perfect holiday drink for winter, Thanksgiving and Christmas and this is aSouthern comfort drink popular in the southern states of the US especially during the holidays. It is so common to find the eggnog in stores during the holiday season, but you can also use homemade eggnog for this recipe if you have it! It doesn't matter if you use store bought eggnog or homemade eggnog, this french toast made using eggnog (holiday drink) makes the perfect holiday breakfast or brunch like Christmas breakfast for your family or guests!
I made this eggnog french toast using store bought non alcoholic eggnog so it's kid friendly as well! If you are serving the eggnog french toast for kids, make sure to use non alcoholic eggnog since some of the eggnog recipes are not alcohol free.

how to make eggnog french toast for Christmas breakfast (in a pan on stove top) using leftover eggnog holiday drink?
step by step instructions to make eggnog french toast in a pan
To make the eggnog french toast batter:
Step 1 - Add the eggs to a medium to large sized bowl and beat the eggs well.
Step 2 - Add the sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon powder, mix well to combine with the eggs until the sugar is dissolved and the vanilla and cinnamon are well combined with the egg mixture.
Step 3 - Now add the eggnog to the egg mixture and mix well to combine well with rest of the ingredients to form the batter for eggnog french toast!
To make the eggnog french toast:
Step 4 - Melt about 1 tablespoon of butter in a good quality non stick pan.
Step 5 - Once the butter is melted, carefully dip the first slice of bread in the batter and place the bread in the pan.
If there is enough space in the pan (enough to flip the bread easily), dip the second slice of bread also in the batter and place it also in the pan (based on the size of the pan you can adjust how many slices of bread you can toast at a time, make sure the pan is not over crowded since we need to flip them).
Step 6 - Now, let the bread get cooked and toasted on one side for about 1 to 2 minutes (keep the heat in medium since low heat will make it too long to cook and high heat will quickly brun the bread). If any batter spreads from the sides of the bread, you can use a good quality spatula to move it towards the bread.
Step 7 - Now carefully flip the bread slices and cook and toast the other side of the bread too. Make sure both sides (and the edges) of the bread slices are well toasted and lightly golden brown in color. If necessary, you can flip it a couple more time until it's golden brown in color.
Step 8 - Once the bread slices are well toasted and golden brown on both sides, transfer the toasted bread slices to a serving dish.
Step 9 - Now add another tablespoon of butter (you may reduce the amount of butter if you wish) and toast another 2 slices of bread (after dipping in the batter) the same way.
Step 10 - Similarly toast all bread slices after dipping them in the batter and transfer all the toasted bread slices to a serving dish!
Step 11 - Serve the eggnog french toast hot for best results! They are delicious on it's own but you can serve the french toast with maple syrup, honey, fresh fruits like sliced bananas or strawberries, powdered sugar, chocolate syrup etc as you wish!
