Gluten-Free Eggnog French Toast
Slices of bread dipped into an eggnog mixture makes for the best gluten-free eggnog french toast.
I am not a fan of eggnog unless it’s in something baked. I love a good french toast, something sweet and delicious that you can drizzle maple syrup over and dig in. However, I do also like the savory Italian version like this Ham and Cheese Breakfast Strata.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- A great way to use up eggnog
- The french toast flavor is enhanced
- You can use regular or gluten-free bread to make it
Ingredients
Bread – You will need thick slices of regular or gluten-free bread. Brioche, sourdough, or challah bread work great if you are not gluten-free. For gluten-free you can use Canyon Bakehouse breads. Â
Eggnog – Use your favorite eggnog
Egg – You will need one egg
Cinnamon – For extra flavor
Nutmeg – Adds a nice flavor
Salt – To balance the sweetness
Butter – Used for frying the thick slices of bread in
Maple Syrup – For drizzling on top of the French toast to give added sweetness
Instructions
- In a medium size shallow bowl add the eggnog, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the salt. Mix until well blended.
- If the bread is not already pre-sliced, cut it into thicker slices then place it into the eggnog mixture. Let the sliced bread sit for a few seconds, if it’s a thicker slice then let it sit a bit longer then flip it over. You want the bread to absorb a good deal of the eggnog mixture.
- Lightly butter a skillet and fry the bread in the butter until both sides are golden brown.
- Repeat until all the slices are golden brown.
- Serve with maple syrup.
