Tis’ the season for NOG. EGGNOG. It’ll hit you over the NOG’in. Twas’ the NOG Before Christmas. Rudolph the Red NOG’d Reindeer. I haven’t been drinking nog. I swear. I’m not three NOGS to the wind (ok – enough).
I had my college gal pals over for brunch this weekend. Some years ago (too many to say out loud) we used to celebrate Christmas at keg parties with our favorite going out shirts and $15 black pants from Forever 21. And now we celebrate it before noon with french toast, hot chocolate and our most stylish drawstring pants. We’re busy gals who rarely get to see each other though, so I wanted to make sumthin’ real spesh for these beauties. And NOG is the most spesh thing you can have around the holidays!
This Overnight French Toast Casserole with NOG as the star is RIDICULOUSLY easy and a so so delicious-and-perfect-for-Christmas-Morning breakfast dish. There’s enough to do as it is Christmas Morning – like wake up, pop an advil from too much nog the night before, make sure Santa came, open stockings, then gifts, then crack open the hair-of-the-dog-nog. So this guy right here you make the night before, throw it in the fridge, pop it in the oven, drizzle that pecan shizzle on top, and BOOM. ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE.
