Eggnog French Toast with Eggnog Syrup

The other day I discovered a recipe for eggnog french toast.  I immediately decided that I was making it that night for dinner.  Then I decided to take the whole eggnog thing a bit further and try to create an eggnog syrup.  I figured it was worth a try. These turned out fabulous!

I must admit, I was the only one in the family willing to give the syrup a try.  I think it was yummy. This syrup would work great on regular french toast too.  It just gives you a little taste of a classic holiday flavor.  I didn’t even try the french toast with maple syrup because I loved the eggnog syrup that much.  I kept telling my family that they were missing out.  No one believed me.  Hopefully some of you will believe me.

The french toast itself was also tasty.  I figured it’s not too far fetched to make french toast with eggnog.  I mean we’re talking milk and eggs people.  Why wouldn’t it work?

I must say that I am very picky about not having the inside of my french toast mushy.  So I am always very careful to not over dip my bread.  I had to be very careful with the dipping.  There was a piece I had that was leaning a little on the mush side, but not mushy enough I couldn’t eat it.

I did however use fresh Texas toast from the store.  So if you don’t like your french toast mushy on the inside be careful with the dipping or use some good dry bread.  Nobody had any problems eating the french toast here, even with it containing eggnog, but they so missed out on the syrup.
