Equipment
- Skillet or griddle
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
For the Spiced Pumpkin Custard & Toast
- 9–12 slices thick bread (such as Texas toast, brioche, or challah)
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup milk (whole milk or your preferred variety)
- ½ cup pure pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 pinch salt
- Butter for greasing the skillet or griddle
For the Whipped Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter & Toppings
- ½ cup softened butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pure maple syrup for drizzling warmed
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and salt until well combined.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it with butter. Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak briefly, then cook on the skillet until golden brown on both sides.
- In another bowl, mix the softened butter, honey, pumpkin purée, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth to create the whipped pumpkin spice honey butter.
- Serve the French toast warm, topped with the whipped pumpkin spice honey butter, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of warm maple syrup.
Notes
You can use any type of bread for this recipe, but thick slices work best for soaking up the custard.
