Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 4 slices thick-cut bread
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or berries for serving

Method
 

  1. Whisk eggnog, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a shallow dish until smooth.
  2. Soak each bread slice in the custard for 20 to 30 seconds per side, letting excess drip off.
  3. Melt 1/2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook two slices for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden and set. Repeat with remaining butter and bread.
  4. Serve hot with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.

Notes

If your bread is very fresh, let the slices sit out for 30 minutes or give them a quick toast in a low oven so they absorb the custard without getting mushy. This dish is best right off the skillet, but you can keep finished slices warm on a wire rack in a 200°F oven for up to 30 minutes.
