Savor the best part of Christmas with a Eggnog French Toast Casserole. Make it an advance and inhale the sweet smell take over the house while you see what Santa has under the tree.

I love Eggnog.

Actually let me rephrase that.

I love the idea of Eggnog.

One of my favorite drinks of the holiday season, I can’t wait for my first sip of eggnog – and then I’m done.

When I spot it in the dairy aisle, I get giddy because that means the holidays are officially here. But after the first drink, I don’t know what to do with the rest of it.

This Eggnog French Toast Casserole is the way to put that eggnog to work. And even better – you can use almond milk eggnog if you have any lactose issues and it’s just as good!

You can decide whether you need to add the bourbon or not. 🙂

Description

Take french toast to the next level this holiday with an easy make-ahead brunch casserole with eggnog!

Scale

Ingredients

1 loaf French bread (13 to 16 ounces)
8 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup eggnog
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 tablespoons milk (use eggnog if you like)

Instructions

Slice French bread into 1-inch each cubes. (We actually let the kids tear it up so they can help!)
Arrange slices in a buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, eggnog, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly.
Pour mixture over the bread, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture.
Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and cook until brown and bubbly!
