Ingredients

  • 1 loaf day-old French bread (about 14-ounces), cut into cubes
  • 2 cups Lamers Dairy Dairyland’s Best Egg Nog
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 TBSP brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 heaping tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 TBSP butter, cut into small cubes

Prep

  • Generously grease the slow cooker liner with butter or insert a crock pot liner.
  • Cut the loaf of French bread into cubes.

Directions

Enjoy a simple French toast recipe you can throw into your crock pot to make for easier busy mornings from Lamers Dairy.

  1. Place the cubed bread into the crock pot.
  2. Whisk together the egg nog, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  3. Pour the egg nog mixture evenly over the cubed bread.
  4. Press down gently so the cubed bread absorbs the liquid. You may mix gently and briefly to coat all the cubes, but do not mix and/or break up the bread cubes.
  5. Evenly distribute the butter pieces on top.
  6. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  7. Place the insert into the slow cooker (if removed) and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.

Optional: Spread the cubes out onto a sheet pan and leave out for an hour or two to further dry out the cubes if desired or necessary. Place a paper towel under the slow cooker cover while cooking to absorb extra moisture. Prior to serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with Lamers Dairy Homemade Whipped Cream recipe.

Enjoy!
