Notes

French toast works great with sturdier or stale bread. If it is too soft it will sog up too much and become mushy.
You can bake in the oven at 350 degrees, then cook for 15-20 minutes or until the French toast bake is done.
Eggnog has a lot of warmth in it, so you don't really need extra flavors. If you want go ahead and add extra cinnamon for more flavor.
You could swap vanilla with rum extract for a different flavor component.
Feel free to add in raisins, dried cranberries or even nuts to the French toast eggnog mix for added flavor.
Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar or make a powdered sugar and milk glaze to drizzle over the top.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for a few days. Then reheat in the microwave or place in the oven to reheat.
