Overnight French Toast (Eggnog and Gingerbread)
recipe from Baked Perfection

Eggnog French Toast

1 loaf hearty white bread (Italian, Challah, Brioche)
5 large eggs
1 1/2 cups eggnog
3/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Gingerbread French Toast

1 loaf Gingerbread
5 large eggs
2 1/4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Generously butter the sides and bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan. Slice the loaf into 1 inch slices and arrange them in the pan, overlapping.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the eggnog (if using), milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until combined. Pour the mixture over the bread slices. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Flip bread and rearrange in the pan, making sure to coat the entire surface with the liquid.  Bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until the French toast is golden brown and puffy.
Set aside to cool slightly, serve warm with maple syrup and butter.
