Papa Noel Christmas Eggnog French Toast (Cajun Style)
If you can’t get enough egg nog during the holiday season, here is another way to sneak it in at breakfast time. Those Cajun’s will do anything to add flavor!
Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients
2 cups prepared egg nog
1 egg slightly beaten
1/2 tsp cinnamon
dash nutmeg
6 croissants or day old hot dog buns (with crust trimmed off)
3 tbsp butter
Garnish
pecan chips or
chocolate chips or
candied fruit
powdered sugar
maple syrup
Preparation
In a shallow bowl, mix the eggnog and cinnamon and allspice thoroughly. If using croissants slice lengthwise. If using hot dog buns trim off the crusty brown surfaces, the buns will look like logs.
On a griddle or in an iron skillet melt a few tablespoons butter, meanwhile dipping the bread in the batter and coating all sides. Place on the griddle and cook until golden brown on all sides about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Repeat for the rest of the bread. Option: If you have a retail “fry baby” or other deep frying appliance, the buns work great dipped in the batter and cooked golden brown, drain before serving. My grandmother used to do this and it was awesome, try it!
Serve immediately topped with pecan chips, chocolate chips or chopped candied holiday fruit leftover from your fruitcake recipe. Dust with powdered sugar just like they do the beignets at Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter. Serve warmed maple syrup on the side.
Apprécier! (enjoy)
