Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Eggnog French Toast
  1. In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together eggnog, eggs, dark rum (if using), vanilla extract, and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg until smooth.
  2. Slice the crusty country-style bread into 3/4-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a clean surface.
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it sizzles, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gently dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture for about 1-2 seconds on each side, without oversaturating.
  5. Cook the coated bread slices in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, then keep warm in a low oven set at 200°F.
  6. Plate the warm French toast and top generously with whipped cream and maple syrup.

Notes

Ensure to whisk eggnog and eggs thoroughly for a smooth custard. Use a denser, crusty bread for better absorption and avoid mushiness.
