Eggnog French Toast

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.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 24  slices  French bread (3/4 inch thick)

Directions

1. Arrange the bread slices in two well-greased 15-inch by 10-inch by 1-inch baking pans.
