**Almond Eggnog French Toast**
**Ingredients:**
– 6 slices of thick-cut bread (such as brioche or challah)
– 1 cup eggnog
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
– 1/4 cup sliced almonds
– Butter, for cooking
– Maple syrup, for serving
– Powdered sugar, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and almond extract until well combined.
2. Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow the bread to soak for a few seconds to absorb the flavors.
3. In a large skillet or griddle, melt a pat of butter over medium heat.
4. Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. While the French toast is cooking, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
6. Once the French toast is cooked to your liking, remove it from the skillet and place it on a serving plate.
7. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the French toast and dust with powdered sugar.
8. Serve the Almond Eggnog French Toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup on top.
