    Change up your French toast game by making it more festive by using egg nog. Find out how you can make this recipe from ingredients you get at ALDI.

    Do you love French toast? It's always been a favorite of mine.

    It's a great choice to make for Christmas breakfast. I want to make it more special to make it holiday worthy. I simply do that by replacing the milk or half & half with egg nog.

    This is a great way to use leftover egg nog from your Christmas party or if you got some bread that was getting old. French toast is all about leftovers. It was originally invented as a way to use leftover bread.

    I want to show you how to make this delicious breakfast on a budget by using ingredients found at ALDI.

    🛒 Ingredients

    Here is what you will need from ALDI for this recipe.

    • 1 dozen eggs
    • 1 cup egg nog (whatever brand your ALDI carries)
    • 1 loaf of either L'oven Fresh Artisanal Style Bread or Specially Selected Sourdough Bread
    • 1 stick of butter
    • Specially Selected Maple Syrup
    A loaf of L'Oven Fresh Artisanal Style Bread from ALDI.

    Choose between the Artisanal Style Bread or their Sourdough. I like the Artisanal bread as it has thicker slices than their cheapest bread. I do think the egg nog flavor is more pronounced when made with the Artisanal Style. The Sourdough will absorb the liquid better and has a better texture. Pick which is more important for you.

    This is optional but I like to grate whole nutmeg into the eggs & egg nog to give it even more flavor. Aldi doesn't have whole nutmeg so I get that elsewhere.

    Serve with some real maple syrup (it's the only way to go!). ALDI has a good price on maple syrup.

    📋 Instructions

    Mix the eggs and egg nog into a wide baking dish or large mixing bowl. Place the slices into the baking dish or bowl to soak for 1 minute or 2 at a time for each side.

    I like to use my electric griddle to cook my French toast. You can make more toast in less time that way. Just spread some butter on the surface and cook each piece about 2-3 minutes per side.

    When you are all done you can turn the griddle down to warm and put all the slices on to keep warm.
