EggNog French Toast! Happy New Year! Salute!

categories: Breakfast, Recipes

I am not an EggNog fan. EggNog as a beverage, that is. We buy it and everyone has a must-have glass/shot WITH or without an alcoholic additive and then, there are tons of thick, milky leftovers! Instead of dumping it down the drain, make a beautiful EggNog French Toast!

New Year’s Day is the best morning to surprise your family and guests with a fabulous, alcohol- absorbing breakfast!
Here is the recipe:

EggNog French Toast

Ingredients:

1 French baguette or raisin loaf or your favorite French toast bread sliced into 1 inch slices
2 eggs
1-1/2 cup EggNog
2 tbsp. Cinnamon
2 tbsp. Vanilla
1 tbsp. Ginger
2 tbsp. Sugar
1/8 stick of Butter to coat bottom of the pan.

Directions:

Heat butter on medium heat in a frying pan.

Whisk all ingredients in a shallow but deep enough bowl to soak bread.

Soak bread with eggnog mixture on both sides.

Add coated bread to frying pan once water sizzles when flicked onto hot pan (yes, super technical terms)

Let it cook until slightly browned on first side.

Turn and cook until slightly browned on other side.

Remove from heat.

Add butter, sifted powdered sugar, and your favorite maple syrup.

Serve and enjoy!
Ciao!

Panettone French Toast: A Holiday Breakfast Favorite!!

categories: Breakfast, Homemade Italian, Recipes

In our home, we sit down to our Thanksgiving meal in the middle of the afternoon, like a Sunday dinner, between 2-3pm. My typical routine is getting the turkey(s) in the oven and making a beautiful breakfast for the family before starting the side dishes.

Panettone French Toast is a favorite holiday breakfast! Sweet and creamy with a browned, toasted edge, this recipe accentuates the flavors of the season. The panettone is filling enough to hold us over until Thanksgiving dinner is served.

A panettone …

…is a sweet Italian bread from Milan, made once per year in September /October and enjoyed through Easter until they start to dry out. Panettone makes the best french toast!!
