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)
- 0 optional Maple syrup (for serving)
- 0 optional Powdered sugar (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Place the coated bread slice in the skillet or griddle, and repeat with additional slices until the cooking surface is full but not overcrowded.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Serve the Pumpkin Pie French Toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
