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.
- Place the cubed bread into the crock pot.
- Whisk together the egg nog, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- Pour the egg nog mixture evenly over the cubed bread.
- 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.
- Evenly distribute the butter pieces on top.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- 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!
