1 loaf gluten free bread such as brioche, challah, French bread, or sourdough, can use regular bread if not gluten free
5 large eggs
1 ½ cups eggnog make sure brand is gluten free
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. nutmeg freshly grated if possible
4 Tbsp. butter or ghee
maple syrup optional

Cut a loaf of bread into thick slices.
Crack 5 eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk completely. To the eggs add 1 ½ cups of eggnog. Add 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 2 tsp. cinnamon, and ¼ tsp. nutmeg (freshly grated if possible). Stir until all the ingredients are completely combined.
Place half of the bread in a shallow baking dish or large bowl. Pour half of the egg mixture over the bread and turn each piece over until it is completely coated. Once this first batch is fried this step will need to be repeated (depending on the size of your dish or bowl).
Heat a skillet or griddle to medium-low. Add 1 Tbsp. of butter or ghee and allow to melt completely.
Once the pan is fully heated and the butter melted add as many pieces of bread as will fit in the pan. Toast the first side for a few minutes until it is golden brown. Flip and repeat on the second side of the bread. Each side will need to cook for a few minutes depending on the size of the bread and the type of pan you are using.
Once the bread is toasted on both sides remove and set aside. Melt another Tbsp. of butter and repeat with another batch of bread. Continue this process until all the bread is toasted.
Serve this French Toast with warm maple syrup and a dusting of nutmeg (freshly grated if possible).

This recipe can be doubled to serve a larger group.
