Guys, I finally tried eggnog. I’m not really sure as to why I never had it as a kid. It may be a Korean thing since Jason’s never tried it too. Either way, I picked up a carton and decided to make french toast.

But this isn’t your ordinary french toast. This one gets baked in the oven and you can actually prep it the night before. That way, in the morning, all you need to do is throw on the crumb topping, some strawberries (or any other berry would work) and pop it in the oven for a decadent Christmas morning breakfast.

Now how easy was that?
