Description
Golden slices of French toast infused with pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg — cozy fall breakfast perfection perfect for a comforting morning treat.
Ingredients
Custard Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Bread
- 8 slices brioche or challah bread
Instructions
- Prepare the custard mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Dip the bread slices: Submerge each slice of brioche or challah bread into the pumpkin custard, ensuring both sides are coated generously but not soggy.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a buttered skillet over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pumpkin French toast warm, topped with maple syrup or whipped cream, and optionally sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Use thick slices of bread for the best texture and to prevent sogginess.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving for added sweetness and presentation.
- Brioche or challah bread works best due to their soft, rich texture.
