Egg Nog French Toast

Ingredients
  

French toast:

  • 1/2 loaf of brioche or other dense bread, but I highly recommend using brioche, sliced into 1" thick slices - about 5 or 6 slices
  • 1 1/4 cup of egg nog
  • 1 to 2 TB rum or bourbon add to your personal preference (optional, but recommended)
  • 2 TB whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla exract
  • About 3 TB ghee
  • Whipped cream see below for fresh whipped cream for serving
  • Maple syrup for serving

Fresh whipped cream:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Whipped cream:

  • Using a hand or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside until serving time.

French toast:

  • Combine the egg nog, rum or bourbon (if using), milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the eggs and milk are completely combined with the egg nog.
  • In a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, melt about 1 tsp of ghee per toast slice.
  • Dunk the bread slices into the egg nog mixture and allow to soak for 10-15 seconds per side (more or less depending on how you like your toast - though the longer it soaks, the more batter you'll need). Place in the skillet and cook until lightly golden brown on each side - about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Serve topped with maple syrup and fresh whipped cream.
