Overnight breakfasts are a must when it comes to Christmas morning eating, and this Overnight Eggnog French Toast Casserole fits right in! Never wonder how to make eggnog french toast again!
This Eggnog French Toast Casserole is perfect for helping to make your family Christmas breakfast one to remember!
I don’t know about all of you, but this is how Christmas morning goes in our house:
- Early awakenings
- Opening presents, while guzzling coffee and coffeecake (usually Entenmann’s)
- Look around and go, Oh my God, what a freaking mess.
- Think about cleaning it up. Don’t.
- Play with toys with kids until someone complains that they’re hungry and when is breakfast?
- Grumble and then make breakfast.
Please note that nowhere in there did it say anything about actually cooking. It’s Christmas morning, I worked my tail off to make everything magical for everyone. I’ll be damned if I’m missing it to cook.
Enter the wonder of Christmas morning- Overnight Eggnog French Toast Casserole. Truth be told, I finished wrapping presents and getting everything ready at midnight last year, then mixed this up in about 5 minutes and threw it in the fridge. It was INCREDIBLE. I usually prefer to make my own eggnog, so it isn’t quite as sweet, but this uses store bought eggnog and it isn’t too sweet at all. Thankfully, I jotted down the recipe in the wee hours of Christmas morning and shot some pictures after baking it. So yes, I have been holding on to these for a year.
Totally worth the wait.
