Eggnog French Toast Bake

Today was the kickoff of Huber's week-long Christmas Spectacular. It started with a Holiday Breakfast with Santa! I made an Eggnog French Toast Bake.

Eggnog French Toast Bake

Ingredients

• 1 loaf texas toast style thick sliced bread (or a loaf of French bread) cut into 2 inch cubes (about 4-5 cups)
• 4 cups eggnog
• 6 eggs
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. Arrange the bread cubes in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the bread.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, and up to 24 (I recommend refrigerating overnight).
4. Preheat oven to 350. Bake french toast uncovered for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

I thought it was pretty tasty, but ended up more like a bread pudding than French Toast. The flavor was really good, with just the right amount of spice, and not too sweet.
At breakfast, Santa joined us, and we sang Christmas carols after eating. What a way to start spending my last full week of work before the end of the year!
