Golden slices of French toast infused with pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg create a cozy and delicious fall breakfast perfect for chilly mornings.
Ingredients
French Toast 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 and Serving
- Butter for skillet
- Maple syrup or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Dip the bread: Take each slice of brioche or challah bread and dip it into the pumpkin mixture, allowing the bread to soak up the custard for a few seconds on each side to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter to coat the surface. 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: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm. Top with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use thick slices of bread such as brioche or challah for the best texture and to prevent sogginess.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar over the finished French toast before serving for added sweetness and visual appeal.
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative if preferred.
