Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for cooking)
- optional Maple syrup (for serving)
- optional Powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions
In a shallow, wide bowl or dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the pumpkin-egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well saturated, but avoid soaking it to the point of falling apart.
Place the coated bread slice in the skillet or griddle, and repeat with additional slices until the cooking surface is full but not overcrowded.
Cook the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Transfer cooked slices to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Add the remaining butter to the pan and repeat the process with the rest of the bread slices.
Serve the Pumpkin Pie French Toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
