Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Brioche Bread
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 ½ cup Country Fresh Eggnog
  • 1/2 cup 2% Milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp cold butter divided

    wet mixture for eggnog french toast in glass mixing bowl.
  • Cut the butter into thin slices and scatter around the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Shake brown sugar evenly across the pan.
    butter pats and brown sugar spread in white baking tray.
  • Add the cubed bread to the prepared baking dish. I cut three columns and 2 rows to get about 12 cubes out of each slice.
  • Sprinkle diced apple on top. Pour the eggnog mixture on top of the bread cubes, ensuring each cube is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 4 hours).
    bread cubes stacked in white rectangular baking dish.
  • The next morning, preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 32-36 minutes or until top is golden brown and the middle is set.

Notes

Store in an airtight container or covered with aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
WARNING! It will dry out over time as the bread soaks up the eggnog mixture. I recommend adding additional eggnog or milk prior to reheating to ensure some moisture is still there.
