Cut bread into 1-inch thick slices. Remove crust. Trim each slice into a rectangle. Arrange slices in single layer in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with no stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Mix eggs, milk, granulated sugar, extracts, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of the nutmeg in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Pour mixture over bread. Cover. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove casserole from refrigerator. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Meanwhile, mix confectioners’ sugar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in small bowl. Sprinkle over French toast. Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
Sounds wonderful! After all, that is what eggnog is, milk, eggs, sugar and nutmeg!

Where is the eggnog? This is just a regular old baked French toast recipe with a little nutmeg. Nothing special. False advertising!
