Eggnog French Toast

Lainey6605's Note:

This has an eggnog-like taste, but you don't need to buy eggnog. Instead, it uses rum extract and some nutmeg to give it that flavor. Time to prepare does not include refrigerating overnight.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Directions:

1. Arrange the bread slices in two well-greased 15-inch by 10-inch by 1-inch baking pans.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, cream, sugar, extracts and nutmeg until blended; pour over bread. Turn bread to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Made this up for 3 of us so cut the recipe back by 2/3, which worked out just about right! Great flavor & a very nice change of pace from the usual French toast! Definitely on my list to make again ~ Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]

My husband and I had a French toast casserole in Durham, and he wanted me to make one at home. I halved the recipe, using 5 eggs, and left out the rum extract. We served with maple syrup and I enjoyed the dish. My DH wasn't as happy, but definately worth 4 stars! Thank you Lainey!

I enjoyed this making it with rum liqueur, low fat milk and skipped the sugar because I knew I wanted syrup on mine so I opted to skip the sugar and didn`t miss it. Thanks.
