Lisa-The Domestic Life Stylist, shares her holiday tradition for making Christmas morning extra special.

I love Christmas time. The holidays are a time for family, great food, special traditions and indulgences. One of those special traditions that I have, is making eggnog French toast on Christmas morning.

Seriously, this is one of those indulgences that is too hard to pass up. Just the smell of it cooking will wake everyone up. Your family will be craving this French toast every Christmas morning. Just don’t say that I didn’t warn you.

Ingredients

1 loaf Challah bread cut into thick slices
2.5 cups eggnog
3 eggs well beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 sliced bananas
2 tbsp sugar
unsalted butter
To serve: whipped cream and maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat griddle to medium heat
Beat eggs into eggnog and add vanilla
Start by melting 1 tablespoon of butter on griddle
Dip slices of bread into eggnog mixture, making sure to saturate both sides
Cook bread on each side until golden
Add more butter as needed between batches
While bread is cooking, in separate hot frying pan add 1 tbsp of butter, bananas and sugar
Allow bananas to cook in sugar, soften and brown before turning.
Serve bananas alongside eggnog French toast, with whipped cream and maple syrup
