This Eggnog French Toast with Gingerbread Syrup is my new favorite Christmas breakfast. Get a taste of Christmas in every gooey, delicious bite!
I love the taste of eggnog but I sometimes have a hard time drinking it because it is so thick! I love that this french toast absorbs all the yummy flavor but you don’t have to drink it. 🙂
The gingerbread syrup really tastes like gingerbread too! It is so so good!! 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.

December 8, 2014 at 5:58 amMy 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!

December 8, 2014 at 12:59 pmYou can usually find the Biscoff spread near the peanut butter aisle. Thanks for asking!
