Delicious and Easy Overnight Eggnog French Toast Recipe

This overnight eggnog French toast is the perfect dish to enjoy during the holiday season. Made with rich and creamy eggnog, this French toast is soft, custardy, and bursting with delicious flavors. The bread soaks up the eggnog mixture overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the bread to become extra tender. In the morning, simply bake it in the oven for a warm and comforting breakfast that will impress your family and guests. Serve it with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
