List of Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 cups eggnog
2 cups milk
6 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
10 slices (about 3/4-inch thick) good quality white bread with crusts
1 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon rum extract, optional
2 tablespoons powdered sugar


Recipe

Butter the inside of a 2-1/2-quart baking dish and set aside.

With a large whisk, beat together eggnog, milk, eggs, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Arrange bread in the prepared baking dish, overlapping the slices. Pour batter over bread, then turn slices over, making sure that both sides are covered with batter. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, bake the French toast in a preheated 400-degree oven about 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

While the dish is baking, warm maple syrup with optional rum extract over medium-low heat. Sift powdered sugar over French toast and serve with the syrup on the side.

Makes 5-10 servings
