Ingredients

Custard Base

• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

Bread

• 8 slices Texas toast or white bread such as Challah or French bread

Cooking Fat

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
• Toppings (optional)
• whipped cream
• chopped pecans
• powdered sugar
• maple syrup

Steps

In a large shallow bowl or glass pie plate, whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar until fully blended.
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat until melted and foaming subsides.
Submerge bread slices one at a time into the pumpkin custard mixture, coating both sides and allowing excess to drip off.
Place coated bread slices into the hot skillet and cook until lightly golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Work in batches, replenishing the pan with more butter as needed.
Transfer French toast to plates and serve warm with additional butter, maple syrup, or desired toppings such as whipped cream, pecans, or powdered sugar.

Notes
For best results, use day-old bread to prevent sogginess and ensure a crisp exterior.
