"This was awesome," raves Lumbee Diva. "I made my own pumpkin pie spice and made an eggnog glaze, then topped it with syrup and topped it with whipped cream! It was amazing!"

"Made this after Christmas with leftover eggnog," says kleehess. "It's a great way to use up the eggnog and the whole family loved it."

"Instead of pumpkin pie spice, I just bought pumpkin spice eggnog," according to wilco. "I used whole grain white bread rather than French. My family loved this! It's a nice change of pace and perfect for the holidays."

Ingredients

1 ½ cups eggnog
2 eggs, beaten slightly
1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
12 slices French bread
