Christmas Eggnog French Toast

2 cups fat-free eggnog*
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 croissants*
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or as needed
3/4 cup maple syrup, or to taste

1. Turn on oven to warm or lowest setting.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix eggnog, egg and cinnamon, stirring well. Slice croissants in half lengthwise. Over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch skillet (or use a griddle).
3. Dip 2 croissant halves in eggnog batter and place in skillet. Cook each side until golden brown, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove to a serving platter, and place in warmed oven. Repeat process with remaining croissants, melting more butter as needed.
Serve at once with maple syrup.

* Notes

Fat-free eggnog is sometimes available during the holidays. Regular eggnog can be substituted.

Hearty sliced bread can be used instead.

Serve with real maple syrup, fresh orange slices and microwaved bacon.
