EGG NOG RUM FRENCH TOAST RECIPE
A perfect holiday morning breakfast or brunch for the adults in the family. Pair the perennial favorite rum-raisin flavor with egg nog for a cravable sweet and creamy French Toast.
This is wonderful with fresh fruit and can be complimented with toasted or candied nuts or even warm rum soaked sugared raisins. This recipe can be done with 1/2 teaspoon of rum extract in place of the dark rum.
This is a popular late-night breakfast for after Christmas eve services or following the New Years Eve festivities.
