Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Half & Half or whole milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 (14 oz) loaf brioche bread sliced into ½” slices
- 2-4 Tablespoons butter for pan
Spiced Pecan Syrup
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 whole cloves
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- 4 oz about 1 cup halved pecans
Instructions
- In a large shallow bowl, beat the eggs, half & half, pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat. Add the butter, swirling it around to melt over the entire griddle. Working in batches, submerge the slices of brioche bread into the egg mixture for about 10 seconds each.
- Place the bread onto the hot greased skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden crispy and cooked through.
- Serve the French toast with extra butter, pecan maple syrup, and a drizzle of cinnamon.
Cup of Yum
Spiced Pecan Syrup:
- Add the maple syrup, water, cinnamon stick, cloves, and nutmeg to a small saucepan; whisk to combine.
- Bring the syrup to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves. Stir in the pecans. Serve warm.
Notes
- Storing leftovers: This pumpkin French toast is best enjoyed the day it is made, but it can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To reheat: Rewarm leftovers in a toaster oven or in the microwave.
- To freeze: Once completely cool, freeze French toast in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. You can reheat from frozen.
