Instructions

Preparation: Butter the slices of bread and layer them in a buttered 9×13-inch baking pan. If using homemade bread, slice it thick and create a single layer.
-
Prepare Custard: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and eggnog until well combined and frothy. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all are coated. Press the bread down gently into the custard. Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld.
-
Morning Preparation: The next morning, remove the pan from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Baking: Bake the French toast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Finishing Touch: Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
Enjoy your Eggnog French Toast warm, perhaps with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly festive breakfast treat!
