Why you’ll love this recipe

First and foremost, this French toast is pillowy on the inside and golden on the outside. Additionally, the warm eggnog custard adds instant holiday flavor without the need for complicated ingredients. Even better, the marshmallow buttercream melts gently into the bread as it cooks, creating a creamy center that tastes like dessert for breakfast.

Furthermore, because this recipe uses brioche rolls, each bite feels soft, rich, and bakery-style. As a result, this dish looks impressive while still being completely approachable for home cooks.



How to Make Eggnog French Toast Stuffed with Marshmallow Buttercream

Step 1: Make the Marshmallow Buttercream

First, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Then, gently fold in the marshmallow fluff and powder sugar and beat until smooth and creamy. At this point, set the filling aside so it’s ready to use.

Step 2: Prepare the Brioche Rolls

Next, using a small knife, carefully cut a pocket into each brioche roll. After that, pipe or spoon the marshmallow buttercream directly into the center. Importantly, avoid overfilling so the filling stays inside while cooking.

Step 3: Make the Eggnog Custard

Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, and cinnamon. As you whisk, make sure the mixture is fully combined for an even custard.

Step 4: Dip the Stuffed Rolls

Now comes the fun part. One by one, gently dip each stuffed brioche roll into the eggnog custard. Be sure to coat all sides, but at the same time, don’t let them soak too long or they may fall apart.

Step 5: Cook the French Toast

Then, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the custard-dipped rolls. As they cook, rotate them carefully so every side becomes golden brown. Eventually, the bread will crisp on the outside while the filling warms and softens inside.

Final Thoughts


Whether you’re serving this for a holiday gathering or simply treating your family to something special, this recipe delivers every single time. And most importantly, it’s the kind of breakfast that brings everyone to the table — and keeps them there.
