With the Christmas holidays fast approaching I made this Egg Nog Bake to make sure it would be a hit on Christmas morning. I wanted something that would be easy enough to make the night before and pop in the oven while the kids were looking through their stockings. I’ve had plain old French toast bake before but I wanted to make it more festive so I went in search of a recipe with egg nog. That’s when I found this recipe except I substituted the plain white bread with cinnamon raisin bread.
When I was younger I never really got what all the fuss was over egg nog. Ya, sure I didn’t mind it, but I remember my brother drinking it by the litre-full and thought he was kinda crazy. I guess as I get older I don’t mind a glass over the holidays with a sprinkle of nutmeg, of course, but the way I really enjoy it is in anything baked!
So, now on with the challenge! There’s this girl, #NinaRoy who despises egg nog. Now, I never met this girl before, but I need your help to convince her to like egg nog. She can’t stand it! I’m also sending her recipes, tweets, Pinterest and Instagram pics, and Facebook posts just to convince her that egg nog is yummy! Can you help me out? Aw, thanks! I knew I could count on you! Here’s how you can help:
-
Tweet about any egg nog recipe, picture, story, etc. and how delicious it is with #NinaRoy in your tweet.
-
Post your egg nog recipes, stories, pictures, etc. on this Facebook page
-
Take egg nog pics with Instagram and include #NinaRoy in your description.
