Ingredients

Buttered Maple Bourbon Syrup

  • 1 ½ Maple Syrup
  • 1/3 cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp Bourbon

Eggnog French Toast

  • 10 slices of Thick Stale White Bread
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 ½ cups Eggnog
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Bourbon
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

Buttered Maple Bourbon Syrup

  • Add maple syrup and butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing all the butter to melt, then turn the heat off and add the bourbon. Allow to cool slightly before using.

Eggnog French Toast

  • (Optional, if baking after). Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a bowl, whisk egg until well beaten. Using a sieve, strain eggs to remove any large chunks. Then add remaining ingredients to the eggs, whisk until well combined. Transfer custard to a large baking dish (around (9″x13″) for soaking the pieces.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by placing a wire cooling rack over top. Place bread slices into custard batter, soak for 30-40 seconds per side. Place soaked bread slices onto the wire rack that is over top of a baking sheet. Allow bread to rest on racks for around 5 minutes, while you preheat your pan.
  • Preheat a large frying pan. When hot, add ½ tbsp of butter and ½ tbsp of oil. When butter has melted and bubbles have dissipated, add bread slices (do not overcrowd the pan). Cook about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Serve hot with Buttered Maple Bourbon Syrup
  • (Optional) Place bread back onto rack after cooking. When all slices have been fried, put the rack directly into the oven, and bake for 5 minutes.
