Considering eggnog is a permanent staple in our home during the holidays, you can bet we kick up our french toast, every time to make Eggnog French Toast. I’ve adapted my classic French Toast recipe to include eggnog and holiday spices and the result is a perfectly spiced and flavorful eggnog French Toast that’s easy to make any time this season.
How to make Eggnog French Toast:
- Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or or heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add all ingredients, except the bread, to a blender or to a shallow dish and whisk well to combine. If whisking by hand, it’s okay if the flour doesn’t mix in completely smooth.
- Grease skillet with butter or non-stick spray. Dip the bread in the egg mixture and turn to generously coat both sides.
- Add to hot skillet and cook for a few minutes, until the bottom of the bread starts to get golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side the same.
- Serve with cinnamon syrup or regular syrup and dust with extra cinnamon.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: The batter can be made a day ahead of time, stored in the fridge.
To Freeze: Allow cooked French Toast to cool completely, then place in freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.

I only had regular white bread, so I toasted it before dipping. Turned out great!
This recipe was really delicious! I will make it again. And might even try it as a casserole/stratta form. Not sure about the reason for the flour? It seems like the flour drags the seasonings down to the bottom instead of allowing them to float around freely. And one ingredient that was left out that is a must, is salt.
The flour helps the liquid mixture become more of a batter, and yield fluffy, not soggy french toast.
Wondering if it makes a big difference to skip adding the all purpose flour?
Great question, I was wondering the same. Merry Christmas ☃️🎁🎅🦌🎄❄️👼
