Equipment

  • Skillet or Griddle

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf pumpkin brioche bread 8-10 thick slices
  • 4 eggs
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • maple syrup optional topping

Instructions

  • In a large shallow dish, whisk eggs and melted butter. Add milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well to combine.
  • Add slices of brioche bread to the egg mixture and let soak for 30-60 seconds on each side.
  • Spray cooking spray on a skillet or griddle and heat to medium high heat. Add soaked bread and cook for 2 minutes on each side until desired color is reached. The outside should be crispy with a soft center.
  • Top French toast with maple syrup and serve immediately.

Notes

  • I use Trader Joe's Pumpkin Brioche Twist bread, but you can use any brioche bread for this recipe.
  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can get a similar flavor by mixing cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger together.
  • If using plain brioche bread, add more pumpkin pie spice to achieve the pumpkin flavor.
