Simple Gluten-Free Eggnog French Toast

Happy Tuesday! This eggnog french toast is the most perfect meal to make for breakfast, lunch, and even for dinner! 

Traditionally, eggnog is made with milk, cream, sugar, and whipped eggs. But the other day when I went to the supermarket, I found a dairy-free nog made by So Delicious Dairy Free, that uses coconut milk instead of dairy milk! It is SO tasty! You won't be able to tell that it contains no dairy! It made the french toast super creamy and filled with notes of spices like nutmeg. 

Onto the recipe!

Simple Gluten-Free Eggnog French Toast (serves 4)

• 8 slices of gluten-free bread (I used Canyon Bakehouse)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup dairy free eggnog
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 
• coconut oil, to grease pan
• pure maple syrup, to top *optional*

Whisk together eggs, eggnog, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add in slices of bread and let soak for about 2 minutes.

Heat about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Once hot, add in slices of eggnog soaked bread and fry on each side for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve with pure maple syrup, and enjoy!
