- A super easy recipe with just 3 ingredients plus the bread
- Warm and comforting with all of the fall flavors
Ingredients
Here are the basics. You’ll find full amounts in the printable recipe card below.
- Pumpkin bread — either homemade from scratch or using cake mix. The most important thing is that it needs to be a few days old so it’s not too soft to work with!
- Eggs — for the custard
- Heavy cream — makes the custard nice and rich
- Pumpkin pie spice — for a little extra fall flavor
How to Make Pumpkin Bread French Toast
Slice the bread into thick pieces about a half inch thick. In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the cream and pumpkin pie spice until well blended. Heat a non-stick griddle over medium heat. Gently dip each piece of pumpkin bread into the egg mixture, then quickly flip it over so both sides are covered. Cook on the hot griddle flipping once or twice until both sides are golden brown. Repeat until all slices are done.
Tips
Use bread that is a few days old. Or, let slices of pumpkin bread sit out for awhile before cooking to dry a little.
Don’t soak the bread in the custard. Just dip it very quickly so both sides are coated with the egg mixture.
Keep the toast warm on a baking sheet in the oven while you finish frying all of the slices.
Variations
You can use half and half or whole milk in place of the heavy cream. If you use milk, you may want to add another egg for a richer custard.
