It’s the weekend, let’s have some fun! French toast is easy, fast and a tasty treat for a weekend morning. Pumpkin Brioche bread makes it perfect for a fall weekend!! Can’t find any pumpkin bread? No worries. Regular brioche or challah bread works just fine. Lay your bread out the night before and this comes together quickly the next morning. No time to lay out the night before? Toss the bread in a 275 degree oven for 10 minutes to harden up and then start recipe. A kid and adult pleaser!
Pumpkin Brioche French Toast
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup flour
- 8 thick slices pumpkin brioche bread we love Trader Joe’s; substitute regular brioche, Texas toast or Challah bread
To Serve:
- Fresh berries
- Powdered sugar
- Cinnamon
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Lay bread in single layer on cookie sheet. Leave uncovered overnight to allow bread to harden a bit.
- Mix together batter in a shallow baking dish. Ensure all ingredients are well combined and eggs are beaten. (You can also combine batter ingredients in a blender and pour into a shallow baking dish!). Lay bread in mixture allowing the first side to soak up batter for roughly 30-45 seconds. Flip and repeat on other side.
- Cook in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat or on a large griddle heated to 375 degrees. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Repeat in batches until all bread is cooked. Serve warm with berries, powdered sugar, cinnamon and syrup.
