Description
A delightful twist on a classic breakfast favorite that embodies the warmth of fall with pumpkin puree and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of your favorite bread (challah or brioche works great)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Toppings of your choice (e.g., maple syrup, whipped cream, nuts)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and sugar until smooth and well blended.
- Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and add a generous pat of butter or a splash of oil.
- Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated.
- Carefully place the coated bread in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Feel free to swap in gluten-free bread or dairy alternatives based on your dietary preferences. Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better for a fluffier texture.
