“C’est Magnifique” French Toast

Preheat oven to 250 degrees (F). Place bread slices in the oven, directly on the oven rack for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until slightly dry.

Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together eggnog, egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Slowly whisk in flour until well blended.

Melt one tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Dip two slices of bread in the egg mixture for about 30 seconds per side. Remove bread, allowing excess batter to drip off. Place in the skillet and cook until each side is golden brown, around 2 minutes per side. Add more butter to the skillet as needed when you add additional slices. Repeat this process until the remaining French toast has been prepared.

Please note: place done slices on a cookie sheet and pop in the oven at 200 degrees to keep ‘em warm while finishing up the remaining French toast.

Dust each serving with a little powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup and a handful of fresh sliced strawberries!
