How to Make Eggnog French Toast

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup eggnog and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  2. Dip 6 slices of challah bread (or your favorite bread) into the eggnog mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Let soak for about 30 seconds per side.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Gently place the bread slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. While the French toast cooks, prepare the rum sauce (see instructions below).
  6. Serve the Eggnog French Toast immediately, drizzled generously with warm rum sauce.
  7. **Rum Sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rum (optional), and a pinch of cinnamon.
  8. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
