Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200°F and arrange a rack in the middle.

Place a baking sheet in the oven.

Place eggnog, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and whisk until combined.

Pour into a large shallow dish that comfortably holds three slices of bread side-by-side.

Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large cast iron or nonstick frying pan over medium heat until shimmering, about 3 minutes.

Soak 3 slices of the bread in the eggnog mixture, about 30 seconds per side.

Lay soaked bread in a single layer in pan and cook until browned on bottom side, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Flip and cook second side until browned, about another 2 minutes.

Place cooked French toast on heated baking sheet.

Repeat with the remaining bread slices.
