Considering eggnog is a permanent staple in our home during the holidays, you can bet we kick up our french toast, every time to make Eggnog French Toast. I’ve adapted my classic French Toast recipe to include eggnog and holiday spices and the result is a perfectly spiced and flavorful eggnog French Toast that’s easy to make any time this season.
How to make Eggnog French Toast:
- Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or or heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add all ingredients, except the bread, to a blender or to a shallow dish and whisk well to combine. If whisking by hand, it’s okay if the flour doesn’t mix in completely smooth.
- Grease skillet with butter or non-stick spray. Dip the bread in the egg mixture and turn to generously coat both sides.
- Add to hot skillet and cook for a few minutes, until the bottom of the bread starts to get golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side the same.
- Serve with cinnamon syrup or regular syrup and dust with extra cinnamon.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: The batter can be made a day ahead of time, stored in the fridge.
To Freeze: Allow cooked French Toast to cool completely, then place in freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.

I love egg nog so much so this french toast sounds wonderful! I can’t wait to give it a try!
You won’t regret it – its soooo delicious!
My husband would DIE over this. I’m gonna have to make it for him soon. Thanks so much for the recipe.
This sounds so good!! Thanks for sharing!
This sounds amazing, but I’m very curious how the carb count is only 4 g considering there is bread in it?
The nutrition info was calculated by “pieces” instead of “slices” of bread, this is where it made a mistake. I have updated it. Thanks so much for pointing this out!
We had this Christmas morning and making it again 2 days later. We all love this recipe.
This is so delicious, I’ve been making it for years and everyone loves it! I use Pepperidge Farm bread for French toast because it has cinnamon and maple flavoring already in the bread so I cut back on adding it to the mix. I wish egg nog was sold year-round!
Thanks so much for sharing!
So delicious on Christmas morning; I’ll sure this recipe for years to come!
This is the best. I’ve tried various recipes over the past few Christmases for breakfast and this is the best one. I can taste the eggnog. The spices and amount bring out the flavor. I will be making this from now on for our Christmas breakfast.
Thank you!
