1 loaf french bread or brioche cut into 1″ thick slices, then into thirds ▢4 large eggs ▢2/3 cups milk ▢1/2 cup pumpkin puree ▢1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract ▢1 tsp cinnamon ▢1 tsp pumpkin pie spice ▢1/4 cup sugar ▢1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
In a large nonstick skillet preheated to medium heat, melt a small quantity of butter.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a small rectangular baking dish.
After dipping the bread in the mixture and reversing it, set it on the hot skillet. Allow each side to cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
