Ingredients
For the French Toast
- 4 slices thick slices of bread Brioche or Texas Toast preferred, avoid white sandwich bread.
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- 3 large eggs Large eggs are standard for this recipe.
- 3/4 cup milk Whole milk is recommended.
- 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon For flavor; adjust to preference.
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg A warm spice to complement pumpkin.
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves For enhanced flavor.
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar Adds a caramel flavor; can be replaced with honey for a healthier option.
- a splash vanilla extract For added warmth and flavor.
- as needed Butter or oil For cooking on the skillet.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla until well combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Dip each slice of bread quickly into the batter, ensuring it's coated but not soggy.
- Cook each bread slice in the skillet for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Keep the cooked slices warm on a plate in the oven set to low while you finish the rest.
Notes
For less mess, use a shallow dish for dipping the bread. If using gluten-free bread, the flavor remains delightful but the texture may vary. Feel free to experiment with toppings like chocolate chips or whipped cream.
