Ingredients
Scale
4 slices brioche or challah bread
2 large eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter (for the skillet)
Instructions
Whisk the custard: In a wide shallow dish, whisk together eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and well combined. The mixture should look warm and slightly orange-tinged, with a creamy sheen.
Prep the bread: If your bread isn’t fresh, let the slices sit for a few minutes to dry out a touch. You want them to soak up the custard without turning to mush.
Dip with intention: Dip each bread slice into the custard, letting it soak for about 20–30 seconds per side. The goal is a rich coating that stays intact when you flip, not a soggy disaster.
Cook to golden perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the soaked bread and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until the edges are crisp and the centers are custardy and puffed. You should hear a gentle sizzle and see a deep golden hue forming on the surface.
Keep warm as you go: If you’re cooking in batches, set finished slices on a warm plate in a low oven (about 200°F) to keep them toasty while the rest finish.
Finish and serve: Plate the slices hot, with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a handful of your favorite toppings. The first bite should reveal a creamy center with a crisp, golden crust and a comforting pumpkin-spiced aroma.
