You will love Eggnog French Toast with Cran-Raspberry Syrup especially if you love eggnog. I am a huge fan of eggnog and I love this recipe. It’s not an egg bake so you don’t have to let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. A couple of hours in the refrigerator is enough which is a bonus because I quite often forget to make breakfast 24 hours early! Which means we are then just scrambling up some eggs and toast.
Eggnog French Toast With Cran-Raspberry Syrup is perfect for the holiday
Eggnog French Toast with Cran-Raspberry Syrup is perfect for the hoiday because it’s so pretty and festive. The blend of cranberry and raspberry with a hint of nutmeg is comforting and just feels like Christmas. It’s also nice to have an option other than the Cinnamon Bun! Which is great too but this is just a nice alternative.
The other reason I prefer this to the classic strata is with minimal ingredients it comes together quickly and only needs a couple of hours to soak. Baking it is also a little more friendly because you are not waiting for a 3″ layer of egg to set in the oven and it’s not pan fried like typical french toast. It’s the best of both worlds actually and it’s recipe you can scale to the number of people you are serving. Making your Christmas morning a breeze!
