Egg Nog Dipped French Toast

Adding egg nog in place of plain milk
takes this recipe over the top in taste!

Ingredients:
2 slices Texas Toast (or 1” thick slices of French bread)
1 egg
1/4 cup store bought egg nog
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/4 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon frozen berries (thawed)

Directions:
Preheat skillet or griddle to low-medium heat.
Drop 1 tablespoon of butter onto the
heated surface and allow it to melt;
spread melted butter evenly over
heated surface with the back of a spatula.
(Add more butter if necessary.)
Measure frozen berries into a small bowl; set aside to thaw.
Whisk together: egg, egg nog, cinnamon, vanilla and orange zest.
If the mixture seems too thick, add a small amount of milk.
Dip bread into egg mixture, coating both sides.
Place onto the hot griddle and cook
for approximately 3 minutes, until golden brown.
Turn slices over, place butter onto each slice
of French toast and allow the second side
to cook for approximately 3 minutes.
Sprinkle cooked French toast with powdered sugar,
wheat germ or granola, and a teaspoonful of berries.
