Description
Indulge in a heavenly, restaurant-quality pumpkin french toast that’s ready in just 20 minutes! This autumn-inspired breakfast dish features a soft, custard-like interior and lightly crisp exterior, perfectly complemented by a touch of maple syrup and toasted pecans.
Ingredients
– 6 eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 8 slices of bread
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
1. – In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
2. – Dip the bread slices into the pumpkin custard mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
3. – Melt the butter on a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
4. – Cook the soaked bread slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. – Serve the pumpkin french toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with toasted pecans, if desired.
Notes
For best results, use a sturdy bread that can withstand the custard without falling apart. Day-old bread works great. You can also experiment with different types of bread, such as brioche or challah, for a richer flavor.
