For us, it’s a cherished ritual: the comforting gurgle of the coffee maker, signaling the start of a new day, coupled with a delightful, easy-to-prepare breakfast. These moments of togetherness, centered around good food and warm beverages, are the essence of holiday hospitality. Crafting simple yet memorable breakfast recipes ensures that you spend less time in the kitchen and more time creating precious memories with your guests.
Our family shares a deep appreciation for coffee, and that first morning cup is a moment we truly savor.

Today, I’ve embraced a modern approach, adapting those treasured family recipes to be quicker and more convenient without sacrificing flavor or the sentimental value they hold. This Pressure Cooker Eggnog French Toast is a prime example of this philosophy.

It transforms what could be a time-consuming dish into a quick, stress-free morning indulgence, perfect for bustling holiday schedules.

HOW TO MAKE Pressure Cooker Eggnog French Toast: Step-by-Step Guide
Creating this festive and flavorful Eggnog French Toast in your pressure cooker is surprisingly simple. Follow these easy steps to achieve a perfectly moist and delicious holiday breakfast that will impress everyone:
- Begin by cutting the French bread into approximately 1-inch cubes. Transfer these cubes into a large mixing bowl, ensuring there’s enough space for thorough coating.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, combine the wet ingredients and spices. Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, rich eggnog, milk, eggs, aromatic nutmeg, cinnamon, and your choice of rum or brandy extract. Add the chopped walnuts or pecans for an added layer of texture and flavor.
- Pour this fragrant eggnog mixture evenly over the cubed bread. Gently fold and toss the bread until every single piece is thoroughly moistened and has begun to absorb the liquid.
- While the bread continues to soak up the delicious batter, take this time to prepare your bundt pan by greasing it well. This ensures easy release after cooking.
- Once the bundt pan is greased and the bread has absorbed much of the liquid, transfer the entire bread mixture into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly.
- Pour the specified amount of water into the bottom of your pressure cooker pot. Then, carefully place a trivet into the pot, ensuring it sits securely at the bottom.
- Cover the bundt pan securely with aluminum foil. This prevents condensation from dripping onto the French toast and helps it cook evenly. Gently place the foil-covered pan on top of the trivet inside the pressure cooker.
- Securely close the pressure cooker lid, making sure the steam release valve is set to the “sealing” position.
- Set your pressure cooker to manual high pressure for 20 minutes. The cooking time for French toast in the pressure cooker is incredibly efficient.
- While your French toast is cooking, you can swiftly prepare the luscious glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of eggnog until smooth and creamy. Adjust eggnog quantity for desired consistency. Set aside.
- Once the pressure cooking cycle is complete, perform a quick release of the pressure by carefully turning the steam release valve to the “venting” position.
- After the pressure has fully depressurized and the float valve has dropped, carefully remove the lid. Using oven mitts, gently pull the pan out of the pressure cooker.
- Remove the foil covering from the bundt pan. At this point, your French toast will be beautifully custardy.
- If you prefer a slightly crispier top, you can transfer the pan to a preheated 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 5-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Allow the Pressure Cooker Eggnog French Toast to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This helps it set before inverting it onto a serving plate.
- Finally, drizzle generously with the prepared eggnog glaze and serve immediately. Enjoy this festive creation with a warm cup or two of Community® coffee!
Can This Pressure Cooker French Toast Recipe Be Doubled?
Yes, this recipe can certainly be doubled to feed a larger crowd, which is fantastic for holiday entertaining! However, due to the inherent space constraints within a pressure cooker, you will need to cook the batches back-to-back. You cannot cook two full recipes simultaneously in a single pressure cooker, nor can you use a significantly larger pan as you would in a conventional oven. Simply prepare the first batch, remove it, and then repeat the process with the second batch of ingredients. This ensures even cooking and consistent results for all your guests.

Notes
**Live at High Altitude – Because water boils at a lower temperature at high altitudes, and pressure cooking requires water to boil in order to work, some foods may need a little more cooking time. When pressure cooking at high altitudes you want to make sure to add 5 percent to your cook time for every 1,000 feet above 2,000 feet elevation. For example, when we lived at 4,000+ feet I would add 10 percent to my cook time. For a recipe that called for 20-minutes of cooking time, I would then cook for 22 minutes. When pressure cooking, 1-2 minutes can make all the difference in a recipe, unlike when cooking by traditional methods.
