Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1 cup of eggnog, 3 eggs, 1 tablespoon of dark rum (if using), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
  2. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  3. Cut your crusty country-style bread into ¾-inch thick slices.
  4. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-high heat.
  5. Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture for 1-2 seconds per side.
  6. Carefully place the soaked bread slices into the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Once cooked, transfer the French toast slices to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the warm oven.
  8. When all your Holiday Eggnog French Toast is ready, serve it warm topped with fluffy whipped cream and a generous drizzle of pure maple syrup.
