This Eggnog French Toast with Gingerbread Syrup is my new favorite Christmas breakfast. Get a taste of Christmas in every gooey, delicious bite!
Eggnog French Toast
I love the taste of eggnog but I sometimes have a hard time drinking it because it is so thick! But once I tried it as the coating for this amazing French toast, I realized the thickness was a great thing! With this unbelievably good Eggnog French Toast the bread absorbs all the yummy eggnog flavor, but you don’t have to drink it.
Gingerbread Syrup for the Win!
If you want to enhance the festive flavor of this dish even more, you’ve simply got to top it with our gingerbread syrup. I’m not kidding, it really tastes like gingerbread And who doesn’t love gingerbread flavors around the holidays? I am going to make a huge batch of it and take it around to my neighbors. In fact, I made some cute little tags to go with it that I will add to the bottom of this post in case anyone else wants to do the same.

My husband loves Eggnog (me not so much) but I think I might like it in a recipe. So I am going to give this one a try.
My question is what is Biscoff spread and where would I find it in the grocery store (or do I need to make it myself)?
Thanks for any help you can give me on this!
Echo says
You can usually find the Biscoff spread near the peanut butter aisle. Thanks for asking!
Amy Davis says
I’d really love to try this recipe, but it’s not showing up for me. Is there somewhere else I can find it on your site?

What kind of containers do you use to put syrup in for neighbor gifts?
Echo Blickenstaff says
I like to use small glass jars with lids. You can also use small Rubbermaid containers with lids or Ziplock also makes small disposable plastic containers with lids. Thanks for asking!
Lori Ritchie says
What is Biscoff spread and what does it taste like, don’t think I have seen it in Canada. I might be able to find something comparable!
Favorite Family Recipes says
The only other spread I’ve seen is the cookie butter from Trader Joe’s, but I don’t know if they have those in Canada. It’s kind of a sweeter peanut butter.
