Vegan Egg Nog French Toast
Crusty French bread dipped in a thick vegan eggnog mixture, then pan-fried in vegan butter until it's crispy on the edges and super luscious and soft on the inside. Top with more vegan butter, plant-based whipped cream, a dash of grated nutmeg, and real maple syrup.
Serving Size 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan eggnog
- 2 tablespoons egg replacement blend or 2 tablespoons of corn starch
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 6 slices crusty white bread
- butter for frying and serving
- maple syrup optional
- vegan whipped cream optional
- grated nutmeg optional
Instructions
- Follow the instructions on your vegan egg replacement packaging, or skip and use an equal amount of cornstarch.
- Heat a large nonstick pan on medium heat.
- In a wide dish, like a casserole dish, whisk together the vegan eggnog, egg replacement, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
- Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan. Once melted, dip a slice of bread into the eggnog mixture. Move it around to coat it, then flip it and coat the other side. Let the excess drip off before placing it into the pan.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to get dark and crispy looking. Flip the piece of bread. The top should look moist but not wet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a plate.
- Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
- Serve the French toast with butter, maple syrup, vegan whipped cream, and a dash of ground nutmeg.

Notes
If you don't have a store-bought egg replacer, use an equal amount of corn starch instead.
For best results use sturdy crusty bread such as French bread or sourdough.
Serve the French toast with vegan butter, maple syrup, vegan whipped cream, and freshly grated nutmeg.
For the perfect French toast, don't soak the bread in the eggnog mixture, just dip it to coat it, then let the excess drip off.
Instead of frying the French toast in butter, try a drizzle of neutral oil, or use coconut oil.
If you are avoiding soy, pay attention to the ingredients in your vegan egg nog. Some brands use soy milk.
You can also customize the level of sweetness to your liking.
