Do you like eggnog? I do! I love when the holidays roll around every year and I can find Eggnog at the grocery store; it’s one of my once a year indulgences. In fact, we don’t just like to drink it, we love cooking with it. I’ve used it in many recipes, but one recipe that visits our table every year is Eggnog French Toast. It’s an annual treat makes a GREAT holiday breakfast to share with family and friends.
Yummy French toast with a hint of eggnog!
1 cup light Price Chopper eggnog
½ teaspoon Price Chopper vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Price Chopper cinnamon
1 Price Chopper egg
1 teaspoon Price Chopper butter or cooking spray
Confectioner’s Sugar (optional)
5-6 slices French Toast Bread
Using a whisk, mix the eggnog, extract, cinnamon and egg together until the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout. Coat a stove top or electric griddle with either a teaspoon of butter or cooking spray and heat the pan over medium heat. Lightly soak the bread on both sides and cook the French toast on the griddle using low to medium heat until toasty and brown on both sides.
You can serve the French toast with a tablespoon of eggnog or syrup drizzled over top. Or, for added holiday fun, place a holiday cookie cutter on top of the bread and sprinkle the top of the French toast with confectioner’s sugar. When you remove the cookie cutter there will be the outline of a design.
Note: The bread is thicker than regular bread and absorbs the eggnog mixture quickly. Cook slowly to cook the thoroughly and evenly.
Healthy tip: Use whole grains and low fat products whenever possible.
Enjoy –
