Ingredients

For the Eggnog French Toast:

  • 16-18 oz bread (french bread, challah, brioche, etc)
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (cold)

Instructions

For the Eggnog French Toast:

  • Grease a 9x13 pan.
  • Cut up the bread, or tear it into chunks, and spread it evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Add the eggs, eggnog, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a large bowl. Whisk it all together until combined.
  • Pour the eggnog custard mixture over the top of the bread evenly. Flip some of the bread pieces over if they don't get any custard on them while pouring.
  • Cover the pan and place it in the fridge to chill until needed, at least 2 hours, preferably overnight (10 hours).

For the Crumble Topping:

  • (You can make this the night before, or the morning of) In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Use a pastry cutter or 2 forks to cut the butter into the mixture evenly, until you have small pea sized clumps. Cover in an airtight container, or ziplock bag, and place in the fridge until you're ready to bake, unless using immediately.

For Baking:

  • When ready to bake it, remove the casserole pan from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Break the crumble topping into small pieces if you made it ahead of time.
  • Sprinkle the crumble over the top of the french toast casserole evenly.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the casserole is cooked through and no longer soggy.
  • Let cool for a few minutes, then slice up and serve.
  • Top individual portions with powdered sugar, butter, and syrup as desired.
