Christmas breakfast is something kids look forward to and let’s be honest they probably need it after expending so much energy on opening presents. Unfortunately cooking breakfast on Christmas morning means one more thing you have to do on an already hectic day.
Eggnog French Toast is something simple, delicious, and festive to make your family on a busy and eventful day. Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, Eggnog French Toast can be a fun winter-time treat. It’s easy, sweet, and loaded with nutmeg.
What is pan bread and how can I find it? This may shock you, but it’s just bread cooked in a pan or tin. I like getting my pan bread from my local Asian grocery store since it’s thick and almost perfectly square. Next to Challah bread, pan bread makes the best French toast.
