Egg Nog French Toast & Monthly Giveaway!

Egg Nog French Toast

1/2 cup Egg Nog

6 large eggs

4 tablespoons butter, divided

8 slices bread

In medium bowl, combine Egg Nog and eggs.  Mix well. In large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter, over medium heat.  Dip two slices of bread in egg mixture, place in skillet.  Brown bread on both sides.  Repeat three more times.  Serve with maple syrup.  Makes 4 servings.

Tips for making French Toast trees:  I like to cut the bread into triangles before I dip them in the egg mixture and cook them.  It makes it easier to arrange into a tree if the hot bread is cut before you have to handle it to form a tree.  The trunk of the tree is two breakfast sausage links.

My husband Stan and I have one son.  I knew I would only get to do somethings once, and that made me go overboard when it came to my family.  When Tyler had to take a sack lunch to school, I would draw dog footprints all over the bag.  When it was Valentine's Day, I couldn't just send a box covered with red paper like all the other kids had.  I made a space shuttle Valentine's Day box.  And don't get me started on the paint shirt I made.  I am lucky my poor kid turned out normal.

I like tradition and making memories with my family.  The Egg Nog French Toast recipe, is one my family enjoys on Christmas day.  The spice in the Egg Nog, gives the French toast a nice subtle holiday spice flavor.  I precook the sausage the night before, then try to get up early enough on Christmas day, to have the French Toast cooked up and place in the oven, at a low temperature to keep warm.  By preparing the breakfast that way, I can spend time with my family instead of in the kitchen cooking, while everyone else is having fun with their gifts.
