Churro Eggnog French Toast with a splash of Rum

MAJOR KEY: I preach one thing with every single recipe.  Quality ingredients, produce a quality result.  Use rum instead of extract.  Use vanilla bean instead of extract. 

1 tbsp butter

6 eggs

1 1/2 cups eggnog

2 tbsp of rum or 1 tbsp rum extract

1/2 cup Tastic Sweet*

1/4 cup sugar

2 tbsp fresh orange zest (optional)

1 tbsp fresh nutmeg

8 slices of Brioche or Challah (You can you an inferior bread like white, but I don't recommend it 🤨

2 tbsp cream cheese

1/4 cup powder sugar

1 tbsp whole milk

1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp rum or 1 tsp rum extract

1. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt butter. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. 
2. Combine Tastic sweet, zest and sugar in a small shallow bowl.
3. Dip 2 slices bread into egg mixture until soaked through, then add to skillet and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and immediately toss in cinnamon sugar. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and crisp up while you cook remaining bread slices. 
4. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, rum and milk until smooth.
5. Drizzle French toast with Insane Icing before serving.
