Cooking up Memories- EggNog French Toast by Jacquie Biggar

Happy Holidays!

Growing up, Christmas for our family often meant trips to Wilmore Park for a day of tobogganing with our cousins, hot cocoa and shortbread cookies with our grandparents, and… Christmas morning gift opening!

My tree in Alberta

Years later, after my dad passed away, DH (darling hubby) and I slowly took over the Christmas Day festivities. One of the things my brothers and daughter looked forward to was a big holiday breakfast.

I was lucky enough to have the use of an industrial kitchen (my restaurant) and would prepare platters of bacon, sausage, and ham the day before. Then, Christmas morning, while the meat was warming in the oven, I cooked up pancakes, eggs, toast, vats of coffee 🙂 and waited for the hordes to arrive.

Our house in Alberta

One of the family favorites was Eggnog French Toast. It’s easy and delicious!

Ingredients

1. 1 dozen lrg. eggs
2. 1 litre eggnog
3. 2 loaves of bread (French loaf works well)
4. 1 tsp cinnamon
5. 1/2 tsp nutmeg
6. 1 tsp vanilla

Method

• Heat skillet med/hot with a dash of olive oil.
• Mix eggs, eggnog, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla together in a large bowl until smooth.
• Dunk bread in mixture to evenly coat, then add to hot pan.
• Flip after a couple of minutes and remove when golden brown.
• Repeat process until you have enough for your family.

Hint

I average approx 1 egg for 2 slices of bread and cook 4 slices for the men. You can easily suit this to your needs.

Enjoy!

One of the reviews for Mistletoe Inn

Molly McCarty and her son’s journey to (and at) the Mistletoe Inn is sweet and supremely satisfying! Noah Kincaid is a captivating romantic hero. A loner with scars from a difficult past, he deserves a love as perfect as his Inn and the town of Christmas. Beautifully written with many memorable lines, this one was my favorite: “there’s peace to be found in a wind’s soft sigh, the sweet song of a robin, and gentle sway of the trees—Heaven’s cathedrals.” Mistletoe Inn is a perfect read for Christmas or any time of year – like February when I read it, all the time wishing I was a guest at the Mistletoe Inn.
