Ingredients
Filling
8 ounces mascarpone, one package, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar or more to taste
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons cranberry compote, jam, or jelly
French Toast
12 slices thick-sliced bread like Brioche, Challah, or Texas Toast.
6 eggs
1 ½ cups eggnog
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
3-4 tablespoons butter for pan or griddle
Optional toppings: freeze-dried raspberries, minced pistachios, maple syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar
Instructions
With a stand or hand mixer, beat the mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and spreadable.
Spread a thick layer of the Mascarpone filling on one side of six of the bread slices. Then spread 1 tablespoon of the cranberry jam or compote on top of the Mascarpone mixture. Top with a second piece of bread, forming a sandwich with the filling in the middle.
In a large shallow bowl, whisk eggs, eggnog, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Set aside.
Melt a tablespoon or two of butter on a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Working one at a time, dip the prepared “sandwiches” in the eggnog mixture to coat completely and place them on the hot griddle or pan. Let them cook undisturbed until golden-brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3 minutes, then flip with a spatula and cook on the other side until golden-brown, another 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately, topped with desired garnishes.
