Holiday French Toast Recipe

4 eggs
4 cups eggnog
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 bread slices
Butter to taste, optional
Confectioners’ sugar, to taste
Maple syrup, warmed, optional

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until well blended. Add the eggnog and salt; mix well.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Tilt the skillet to coat the bottom. Dip 4 of the bread slices in the eggnog mixture and turn to coat evenly.
4. Place the bread in the skillet and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Keep warm in the oven on an ovenproof platter. Repeat with the remaining bread slices.
5. Serve warm topped with butter, confectioners’ sugar, or syrup, if desired. Serves 4 to 8.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: For a variation, use cinnamon-raisin, sourdough, wheat, or French bread slices. This recipe is a great way to use leftover eggnog during the holidays.
