Description
Golden slices of French toast infused with pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a cozy fall breakfast that’s easy to prepare and delicious to eat.
Ingredients
Egg 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
For Cooking
- Butter for skillet
- Maple syrup or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth to ensure the spices and pumpkin are evenly distributed.
- Dip the bread slices: Take each slice of brioche or challah bread and dip it into the pumpkin egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak up the custard but not become overly soggy.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter to coat the surface. Place the soaked bread slices on the skillet and cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup or whipped cream. Optionally sprinkle with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use thick slices of brioche or challah bread for the best texture and to hold the pumpkin custard well.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving for a decorative touch and added sweetness.
- Try warming the maple syrup before serving for enhanced flavor.
