Equipment

Ingredients

8 slices raisin bread that you have let sit on the counter for several hours to dry out (I used leftover panettone, an Italian fruit-studded sweet bread)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 large eggs
1 cup eggnog
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

Ideal slow cooker size: 4-Quart.
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
Cover the bottom of your slow cooker with 4 slices of bread, cutting them to fit.
Stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle half of it over the bread.
Add the remaining 4 slices of bread.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla and nutmeg.
Pour over the bread in the slow cooker and press down gently on the bread to submerge it in the egg mixture.
Sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar cinnamon mixture.
Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours, or until the center is set.
Remove the lid, turn off the slow cooker, and let the french toast stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with additional maple syrup and/or a dusting of powdered sugar and fresh fruit.

If you don't have eggnog, substitute 1-1/3 cups milk and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.

If you don't have panettone, I think cinnamon raisin bread would also work well in this slow cooker eggnog french toast.

One of the keys to good french toast is to use dry bread so that it will better absorb the egg mixture. I sliced the panettone and let it sit out on the counter for several hours before assembling the casserole.
