Instructions

Gather Ingredients: Prepare all the ingredients listed to ensure a smooth cooking process.
Mix Eggnog Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, beaten eggs, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until thoroughly blended. Pour this mixture into a shallow dish for easy dipping.
Preheat Skillet: Heat an electric skillet to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking.
Dip Bread Slices: Take one slice of French bread and dip it into the eggnog mixture, coating both sides completely for maximum flavor absorption.
Cook French Toast: Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook each side until it turns golden brown, then flip to the other side to cook evenly.
Keep Warm: Once cooked, transfer the French toast slices to a serving plate and cover with foil to retain warmth as you finish cooking the remaining slices.
Serve: Serve the French toast warm, optionally topped with powdered sugar and syrup, alongside scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast.

Notes

For even deeper flavor, soak the bread in the eggnog mixture overnight in the refrigerator.
Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste preference.
Use thick-cut French bread for the best texture and soaking capability.
Serve immediately after cooking for the best taste and texture.
