Eggnog French Toast
An easy holiday breakfast, French toast made with purchased eggnog and served with warm cherry pie filling.
Recipe Ingredients:
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups eggnog

Suggested Toppings:
Cherry pie filling, warmed for accompaniment
Maple syrup
Cooking Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
