We have a whole unopened carton of egg nog sitting in the fridge, mocking us. It knows that we can't drink anymore nog after all the holiday shenanigans finally settled down. But it is there and it is still good until the first week in February. Sigh.
In the spirit of the new year I am trying to make use of all the food we have and I am determined to not let this egg nog defeat me and cook it into as many things as the carton will let me. What a hussie.
I never got to make the Egg Nog Cupcakes that were on the menu for the Ugliest Sweater party so I had to start out with those. First I imagined in my brain that they existed and then I asked Google for a recipe. Then the recipe sat on the fridge for over a month until I finally cranked it out.
After that I still had almost a full carton left so I decided it was time to eat breakfast and looked up this recipe for Egg Nog French Toast. The recipe is pretty simple and I maybe used only one cup of egg nog since I eyeballed it instead of measuring cause that's how I roll.
They came out so gooie and delicious. I topped it with whipped cream, bananas, maple syrup and powdered sugar. Perfect level of egg nog flavor and awesomeness combined.
Now I must take a nap to digest my food baby.
