Last month, I got some egg nog on clearance at my local grocery store for about $2. I’ve never had egg nog before, and I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it. Turns out, I did not. So what’s a girl going to do with an entire bottle of egg nog? I’ve made french toast casserole before, and I tweaked the recipe to use the egg nog. The result? Delicious french toast casserole with a kick of the egg nog. The egg nog also pairs wonderfully with the cinnamon and nutmeg.
