Cinnamon Baked French Toast is one of our favorite breakfast or brunch items-to serve and eat:) It is easy to make and our guests always rave about it. For the holiday season, I wanted to spice things up a bit so I made Baked Eggnog French Toast. I don’t like to drink eggnog straight up, but I like using it in recipes. I fell in love with it after I made my Mini Eggnog Doughnut Muffins. My dad and brother, on the other hand, drink eggnog by the gallon during the holiday season. They LOVE the stuff. They are coming to visit for Christmas so I think I will have to add this Baked Eggnog French Toast to our Christmas brunch menu. This recipe is right up their alley.
I love that you can make this Baked French Toast in advance. You can assemble everything the night before so don’t have to stress in the morning. I replaced the milk and cream with eggnog and added in nutmeg to bring out the eggnog flavor. Our house smelled like Christmas while it was baking:) The eggnog flavor isn’t overly strong, but nice. The sweet cinnamon and nutmeg streusel topping makes the French toast very decadent. Don’t skip the streusel. It really “puts the icing” on this French toast. You can serve the French toast plain, it is plenty sweet on it’s own, or you can add maple syrup.
Make your life easier this Christmas and make this Baked Eggnog French Toast. Your house will smell amazing, your guests will be impressed, and you won’t have to do any work. You can enjoy your time with family and friends…and figure out how to put together that new toy:)
