Ingredients
- 14 oz Brioche loaf
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp rum extract
- pinch salt
- 2 tbsp brown sugar* optional
Instructions
- Slice the loaf into thick slices that are between 1/2 and 3/4 inch thick.
- Whisk everything together for the egg mixture until it’s smooth and set it aside.
- Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat and lower the heat to medium-low so the outside of the bread doesn’t cook faster than the inside. Grease the pan with a little oil.
- Dip each side of the bread into the egg mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Depending on the size of the pan, you may need to cook it in batches of 3 or 4 slices at a time.
- To keep cooked French Toast warm, preheat the oven to 200F° and keep it in the oven while the rest is cooking.

Notes
- *Adjust sweetness: Brioche and eggnog already have sugar added so both ingredients are sweetened. It can be a personal preference to add more sugar to the egg mixture or not.
- Lactose free and dairy free: check your grocery stores for a dairy free eggnog options.
- Brioche bread is the best for French toast! If you need a substitution, use challah or deli fresh country white bread.
