Eggnog French Toast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup eggnog
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
1 loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch slices
2/3 cup butter, melted

Preparation

Combine eggs, sugar, nutmeg, eggnog, and rum extract, and stir well.
Place bread slices into a lightly greased 9 x 13\" pan in one layer.
Drizzle egg mixture over each bread slice. There will be excess that will flow down to the bottom of the pan - it will be soaked up by the bread while in the refrigerator.
Cover the pan and refrigerate. Turn once during an 8 hour or overnight period.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
Carefully pour the melted butter into a 15\" jelly roll pan.
Move the french toast into the newly prepared pan, still in a single layer.
Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden.
Serve with your favorite toppings - some ideas include syrup, extra eggnog, powdered sugar, nutmeg, or cranberries and cranberry sauce.
