Description:
Ingredients:
6 slices bread
3 large eggs
¼ cup milk
¼ cup pumpkin puree
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp. butter or cooking spray
Maple syrup
Directions:
Break the eggs into a large bowl and add the milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, sugar, salt and spices. Whisk until mixed well.
Soak one slice of bread at a time in the mixture. Let it sit for a minute or two before turning over so the egg mixture can soak completely into the bread. Turn the slices over and let soak for another 45 seconds. Place soaked bread on a large plate. Repeat with each slice.
In a large skillet, heat 1 Tablespoon of butter on medium-high heat until it is melted. Make sure the whole pan is coated on the bottom so it doesn't stick. Add slices of soaked bread to the pan, making sure they are not too crowded. Cook them until the bottom is beginning to turn golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn over and cook the other side until browned. Repeat with remaining slices.
Serve with real maple syrup and sprinkle with nuts, if you like.
