Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 slices of your favorite bread, 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and butter for cooking.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture together until it is smooth and well combined.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
- While the skillet is heating, take each slice of bread and dip it into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
- Once the skillet is hot and the butter is bubbling, place the coated slices of bread in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown.
- Carefully flip the slices and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, until they are also golden brown and cooked through.
- Once all the slices are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate. You can keep them warm in a low oven if desired.
- Serve the Incredible Pumpkin French Toast warm, topped with your favorite syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best texture, opt for thick slices of bread such as brioche or challah. These types soak up the pumpkin mixture beautifully without falling apart.
- Customize Your Spices: Feel free to experiment with spices! Add a pinch of ginger or allspice for an extra layer of flavor that complements the pumpkin perfectly.
- Keep It Warm: If you're making multiple servings, keep the cooked French toast warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Toppings Galore: Get creative with your toppings! Maple syrup, whipped cream, or even a dollop of cream cheese frosting can take your French toast to the next level.
- Make It Ahead: For a quicker breakfast option, prepare the pumpkin mixture the night before and store it in the fridge. Just dip and cook in the morning!
- Serve with Sides: Pair your French toast with crispy bacon or fresh fruit for a balanced meal that’s sure to satisfy.Enjoy your cooking adventure and savor every bite of this deliciously decadent breakfast treat!
