Amazing Eggnog French Toast (A Holiday Leftover Recipe)

That Man and I like to have eggnog for Christmas and New Year's.  YUM!  But we (well, I) tend to overbuy and we end up with too much eggnog to drink before its expiration date. 

What to do?

Eggnog is mainly milk, cream, eggs, and sugar, so I use it to make french toast.  That Man says it's the best he's ever had, and that's high praise indeed, especially from someone who usually tells me a dish is "not bad" when others would say "really good" or "great."

Here it is on the griddle.

Amazing Eggnog French Toast (8 slices)

1 1/2 cups eggnog
3 eggs
1 1/2 t nutmeg
1 t vanilla
8 slices round-top bread (not what is packaged as "sandwich" bread)

Preheat griddle until a drop of water dances on it.  Whisk together the first four ingredients until foamy.  Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, covering both sides, and place on the griddle.  If there is any liquid left, pour it evenly over each slice on griddle.  They will be well soaked.  Turn slices after they have puffed up a little, are browned on the bottom, and can be easily turned with a spatula.  Cook on the other side until browned on the bottom and set.
