French Toast soaked in Egg Nog
It's that time of year when I can make one of my favorite breakfast creations. French Toast soaked in Egg Nog with a dash of vanilla, topped with powdered sugar. Last night when I was in the store getting the ingredients, I went to the syrup section and noticed they had some fancy tiny bottles of pure maple syrup for like $32 a bottle. My question is, is $32/bottle syrup worth the price? Nov 14 12 09:57 am Link John Jebbia wrote: Not if you are used to the artificial stuff. Nov 14 12 10:01 am Link No, not unless you are the ones selling the little bottles. Around here, I can get a fairly large bottle of the pure Vermont stuff for less than half that.

Yes, it is worth it, tastes much better and is much better for you than artificially favored high fructose corn syrup. If you do not drink gallons of it a month...it is very worth it to enjoy the good life. Not to mention supporting these small pure maple syrup companies. Wildcat Nov 14 12 10:21 am Link Hmm. French toast with liquid french toast? Hehe! French toast is eggs, milk, with maybe a little cinnamon, possibly nutmeg. Egg Nog, is milk, with eggs, maybe a little cinnamon, possibly nutmeg. Sounds good to me! Oh, wait, you mean the bread is originally soaked in Egg Nog? I didn't get that part. I thought it was French Toast with Egg Nog as the syrup.

Nov 14 12 10:41 am Link Yeah, just barely figured that out. Gosh, that really sounds like a good idea. I'm going to have to try it. Nov 14 12 10:41 am Link OP I think you should try a nog other than egg. Everyone uses egg nog. Branch out into new territory. Nov 14 12 10:42 am Link Maybe, Spam Nog? Hotdog Nog? Love the name, anyway. Whiskey Nog? No, that's already a standard. Soy Nog? Possibly. Nov 14 12 10:43 am Link Carlos Occidental wrote: I soak the bread in the egg nog. Though, trial and error has taught me that I need to add more eggs to the batter in order to make it work. Nov 14 12 10:46 am Link John Jebbia wrote: And is the egg nog spiked?

Nov 14 12 11:26 am Link I remember this thread....... minus the syrup question Nov 14 12 11:51 am Link I just never got the hang of egg-nogg... I am too much accustomed to the Dutch Eier Liquoer by Verpoorten! Nov 14 12 12:07 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: Not if you have a shitton of sugar maple trees at home. Nov 14 12 12:55 pm Link The worst part of my Hurricane Sandy experience was throwing out most of the first half gallon of egg nog of this winter. Nov 14 12 12:57 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: oh yes, it is. Nov 14 12 02:48 pm Link $32 for a tiny bottle? Define tiny? Is there gold dust piss in it? I get a quart of pure Grade A medium amber, for about $30-ish. Nov 14 12 02:57 pm Link no. it's totally gross. just get a bottle of log cabin or mrs. butterworth's and resume your happy life. i think pure maple syrup is perfectly wretched. i'll take the fake stuff 110 times out of 100. Nov 14 12 07:05 pm Link I like taking canned pumpkin, whipping it up good with some almond milk and pumpkin pie spice, then soaking thick bread in it and cooking that. If you get the pumpkin coated into the bread right, and the pan temperature good, it's pretty much the most awesome thing in the whole world. Nov 14 12 07:08 pm Link Omg. That sounds so yummy right now. Nooommm. Nov 14 12 10:04 pm Link D M E C K E R T wrote: I'm really with you here. I'm not fond of pure maple syrup.
