Pumpkin French Toast

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs

• ½ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

• ¾ cup milk (or your preferred milk)

• 1 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• ½ tsp ground nutmeg

• ¼ tsp ground ginger

• Pinch of salt

• 8 slices of bread (thick-cut like brioche or challah works best)

• Butter (for cooking)

• Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream (for serving)

  Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Custard Mixture:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.

  2. Dip the Bread:

  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter (about ½ tbsp).

  • Take one slice of bread and dip it into the pumpkin mixture. Make sure each side of the bread is well-coated, but avoid soaking it for too long, as this can make it soggy.

  3. Cook the French Toast:

  • Place the coated bread on the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and slightly crisp.

  • Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

  4. Serve:

  • Once all the French toast is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate.

  • Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

  • Serve warm and enjoy the cozy pumpkin flavors!

  Pro Tips:

  • Bread choice: Thick-cut bread like brioche or challah absorbs the pumpkin mixture beautifully and holds up well when cooking.

  • Pumpkin spice: Feel free to add pumpkin spice blend if you have it, in place of the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger!

  • Toppings: Try chopped toasted pecans or caramel sauce for a decadent twist.
