Managed to whip up a small batch of eggnog to use in this recipe, but I did leave out the Kahlua when making this French toast! It's definitely an end-of-the-year-holiday treat, but we (& our overnight company) enjoyed it nonetheless, especially with the cranberry & eggnog combo! AND, another time I'd like to try this with a nutty whole grain bread! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! [Recipenapped & made in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 23]
