Ingredients
  

Eggnog French Toast

  • 3/4 cup lowfat eggnog (may use full fat eggnog if desired)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 6 slices thick bread such as Texas toast or Grandma Sycamore's bread

Buttermilk Maple Syrup

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp corn syrup
  • 1 tsp maple flavoring (like Mapleine)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions
 

Eggnog French Toast

  • Combine eggnog, eggs, cinnamon and nutmeg in a shallow dish (I use a pie tin) to dip the bread in.
  • Spray a large frying pan or an electric skillet with cooking spray and put on medium high heat.
  • Dip the slices of bread (one piece at a time) into the eggnog mixture, coating both sides well.
  • Transfer the bread to the frying pan or skillet and cook until golden brown.  Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.  Flip and cook the other side of the bread until golden brown.
  • Transfer the French toast slices to a serving plate and cover with foil until all the slices are cooked so they stay warm.
  • Add toppings to the French toast and serve while warm.  See below for homemade buttermilk maple syrup recipe which I highly recommend.
  • Calories based on 2 slices of eggnog French toast. 220 calories per serving.

Buttermilk Maple Syrup

  • Cut the butter up into tablespoon size pieces. Place butter, white and brown sugars, buttermilk and corn syrup in large saucepan.  Bring mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the maple syrup flavoring and baking soda and stir in. Make sure you have a large saucepan.
  • Cook for about 1 minute and watch closely as the baking soda makes the syrup foamy and can make it overflow in the pan.
  • When syrup is done, serve immediately.
  • Leftover buttermilk maple syrup must be stored in the refrigerator and will keep up to two weeks.
