This is One Seriously Amazing French Toast Recipe

So you either think I’m totally brilliant or completely crazy right now. It’s even hard for me to decide, but I think I’m going to go with totally brilliant. And once you have a taste of this french toast, you’ll think so too. It just melts right in your mouth! If you’re looking for something special for a nice, fall/winter breakfast – this is it!

How to Make Pumpkin Bread French Toast

The neat thing about this is that it’s super simple and you can turn it into a couple breakfasts or even snacks. First, you’re going to need to make my pumpkin bread recipe. It makes two loaves so you can either cut the recipe in half to get one, or bake them both and eat one loaf as is and use the other loaf for this french toast. Personally, I’d go with option number two (hence being able to get a couple breakfasts/snacks out of this).

Once you’ve got your pumpkin bread ready, you can make the french toast. Now you don’t have to do it all the same day. That would be a lot for one morning. So I’d suggest making the pumpkin bread in advance. I was serious when I said you should make the two loaves, enjoy one and then a few days later make this for breakfast. The pumpkin bread holds up well for several days. You could even freeze the second loaf to pull out later for this french toast.

Anyhow, when you’re ready, it’s time to make the best breakfast ever.

Combine the milk, eggs, vanilla and cinnamon in a shallow dish and mix it all together. Dip the pumpkin bread into the mixture one slice at a time. I would say my slices were about half an inch in size. Coat each side in the egg mixture, and then cook it until it’s lightly brown on both sides.

Pumpkin Bread French Toast = The Best Fall Breakfast Idea

Once cooked, the french toast gets a lightly eggy crust on the outside that is just amazing. It gives it just a tiny bit of crispness as you bite into it and then the pumpkin bread melts in your mouth better than any chocolate you’ve ever had. It’s SO good!

It hardly even needs syrup, but I did add it. Pile on the goodness, I say! You could even add a few chocolate chips or chopped pecans. I mean, hey, it’s fall and the holidays are coming. It’s time to enjoy allllll the good food and this pumpkin bread french toast qualifies 100%.

Instructions

Make the Pumpkin Bread

1. Make the pumpkin bread* (in advance) according to the directions in the linked recipe so that it is ready before you plan to make the French toast. If short on time, use a store-bought loaf of pumpkin bread.

Make the French Toast

1. Cut a loaf of pumpkin bread into 1-inch slices. You’ll need 10-12 slices for this recipe.
2. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla and ground cinnamon to a shallow dish and whisk together to combine. Set aside.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt about a 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
4. Quickly dip one side of a slice of pumpkin bread into the egg mixture. Then flip the bread and dip the opposite side. You don’t need to let it soak in the egg mixture – just a quick dip on each side should do it.
5. Immediately place the bread into the preheated skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides.
6. Repeat dipping process with remaining pumpkin bread slices. Melt additional butter in the skillet before cooking a new round of slices. (If your skillet has room, cook more than one slice at a time. I can usually get two or three slices in my skillet at once.)
7. Serve warm. Top with butter, maple syrup or any other toppings you like.

Notes

NOTE: I recommend using my recipe for homemade Pumpkin Bread. You can make it several days before making the French toast, if you like. The recipe will yield 2 loaves of bread but only one is needed to make the French toast recipe. If desired, double the French toast recipe to use both loaves of pumpkin bread. Or, freeze the 2nd loaf to make French toast another time.
