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-low heat. Add soaked bread and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until desired color is reached. The outside should be golden brown 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.
