Eggnog french toast is a popular treat around the Christmas holiday as it combines the creamy taste of eggnog with the classic breakfast dish french toast. To find out more about this sweet meal choice, read on to learn how to make eggnog french toast.

There are two main versions of eggnog french toast that are quite popular, each being very easy and convenient to prepare. The traditional version uses eggnog and spices in place of the standard egg mixture, with the bread being soaked in the eggnog then cooked in a skillet and served. A second version, which is similar to a french toast casserole, is prepared the night before, then baked in the morning before serving.

Both recipes can be varied in numerous ways, including the type of bread used, the spices added, like nutmeg and cinnamon, and other ingredients added, including fruit and liquor. While French bread or Texas toast are popular choices for the bread, sweet breads like cinnamon raisin bread are also commonly used.

Additionally, fruits like apples and cranberries are often added to the casserole version of the dish and liquors, such as spiced rum or whiskey, can be added for a more robust flavor as well.http://www.wchstv.com/gmarecipes/eggnogfrenchtoa.shtml http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Eggnog-French-Toast-with-Cranberry-Apple-Compote-105976 http://pinchmysalt.com/2007/10/26/spiked-egg-nog-french-toast/
