Eggnog French Toast

There's always some eggnog left in the jug at the end of a holiday party — use it up here in this super-easy French Toast recipe. Simply replace the plain milk with your favourite eggnog.

Psst... if your eggnog is the alcoholic kind, you might want to save this breakfast for Mom, Dad, Aunt and Uncle only. But if it's non-alcoholic, everyone will love it.

Leftover regular mashed potatoes works just as well, too!
