We’ll be entertaining 2 sets of holiday house guests this month. Having family here during the holidays is a lot of fun, but I do need to think ahead about lots of meals, including breakfast. Some days, I’ll just set out yogurt, granola and fruit, but other days it’s more hospitable to prepare something a little more special.
Cinnamon. Maple syrup. These are flavors that I adore….so French Toast is a comfort food go-to. But, I’ve seen a lot of recipes for Eggnog French Toast and that seems like a festive twist on the typical version. I’m not really an eggnog fan, but I think I might like it as a flavoring for french toast.
YUM! I may have to try that myself:) My favorite is a big old fashioned country breakfast, eggs, homemade hashbrowns, sausage or bacon, fresh fruit, yummy fresh bread, fresh squeezed OJ, my signature strong Peets coffe:) Cheers to good food over the holidays! Sounds like your guests will be well taken care of:)
I'm not an eggnog fan either, but lately I've found myself drawn to eggnog cake recipes! This looks yummy too 🙂 We hosted Christmas here in Vermont last year and I made Iowa Girl Eats' crockpot breakfast casserole; it was a huge hit!
Yum! Overnight French Toast is a Christmas morning tradition at our house. Have a wonderful weekend, Elizabeth! xoxo
Elizabeth,
I am coming to your house for breakfast in my Christmas jammies! I'll bring the Stollen and the Spiza. Family recipes during the month of December!
I love a full english breakfast!! (or an American one too)

That does look delicious. Can't wait to try it. You said to use french bread but yours looks like a different bread. I think it starts with a c. I don't know how to spell it. Just wondering.
Love hearing everyone's favorites!!! Carol Jane, I think you may be thinking of challah, which is a soft bread and is what Ina Garten uses. If it's good enough for her, it works for me!!!
Happy eating!
xoxo Elizabeth
I'm sure your breakfasts will be lovely, festive, and delicious Elizabeth! Have you ever tried making the granola from Barefoot Contessa? It's really yummy and I always try to make a batch to give away during the holidays. I think that eggnog would be great for French Toast (I have a friend who uses it in mac & cheese this time of year and it is surprisingly delicious!) My go-to French Toast recipe comes from the Seattle Junior League cookbook "Celebrate The Rain" – it's a killer.
Our Christmas mornings have changed a lot. I used to make French toast at my Mom & Dad's for Christmas morning (I never celebrated anywhere else until last year). Now it's just Mr. H & I so we do something smaller – but last year I made sure to have a version of my Mom's Christmas applesauce cake, which tastes like home. Cake for breakfast feels like a special treat.
I hope your month is magical, Elizabeth. Have fun! XOXO
This post is making me hungry! For those of you near Rye, the Patesserie has a delicious challah. Also, whole foods carries one, pre-packaged, that is quite good.
Ohhh, eggnog French Toast sounds splendid! I think I will put together your overnight version with challah bread for Christmas morning (I may get to sleep a few more minutes that way)! Thank you for sharing!
I made a French toast with cinnamon bake last year for Christmas {not with eggnog}. Everyone loved it.
I usually make something I call breakfast egg thing – very imaginative. You put it together the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning.
In an oblong pyrex dish place white bread – crust cut off, bread cut into triangles or squares. Butter the bread with a good spread of mustard on both sides. Second layer is shaved ham {sometimes I use honey ham}, then a layer of grated cheddar on top of that. Depending on the depth of your dish you should be able to add a two more layers of the mustard bread, ham, cheese. Have used shaved turkey and for vegan broccoli and mushroom.
I don't measure when I cook – so this is by 'look'. Mix eggs and milk in a bowl. Generally I end up using 8 to 9 eggs with a cup'ish of milk. Pour the mixture over the bread dish so that the liquid rises to the top of the bread. The idea is that the layers soak in the egg/milk mixture. I also add dashes of Worchester sauce over each layer. Cover the dish and put it in the fridge overnight.
Pop it in the oven in the morning for about 45 to 60 min at 350. It bakes away while we open our Christmas stockings.
We do an overnight French Toast soaked in a Grande Marnier mixture. Decadent and delicious and usually makes an appearance at either Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Yum! What a perfect combination and we like the casserole version so you're not stuck at the stove making individual slices. We always have a Christmas brunch with all the fixings and may have to add this to the menu.
