Eggnog French Toast

Pear Compote

Whipped Mascarpone

Method

Eggnog French Toast

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

  2. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Allow the bread to soak for a few seconds to absorb the mixture.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the soaked bread slices to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the French toast warm with maple syrup drizzled on top.

Pear Compote

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the diced pears, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and water.

  2. 6

    Cook the Compote

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pears are soft and the mixture has thickened.

  3. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature over the French toast.

Whipped Mascarpone

  1. 8

    Whip the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

  2. 9

    Beat Until Soft Peaks Form

    Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Serve the whipped mascarpone alongside the French toast and pear compote.
