The Pumpkin Spice French Toast has a subtle pumpkin flavor and is bursting with cinnamon and nutmeg flavor! Serve with butter, maple syrup or apple sauce for the perfect indulgent breakfast for two!
Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat until hot but not smoking. Add the tablespoon of butter to the skillet. It should melt immediately but not begin to burn or smoke.
Whisk together egg, milk, sugar, spices, and pumpkin in a medium shallow bowl.
Place the first slice of bread into the egg mixture and press down with a fork for several seconds, flip and press down allowing the bread to absorb the egg mixture for several seconds. Place in skillet and immediately repeat the process with the remaining bread slices. Let cook for 2 minutes or until it is nicely browned; flip and cook on the second side an additional 2-4 minutes or until it is brown and the toast gives a bit of resistance when pressed lightly with the back of a fork. I use a 14 inch cast iron skillet. You can work in batches if you don’t have a large skillet. If you are multiplying the recipe, you can keep the cooked slices warm covered in a slow oven.
Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup! Or even apple sauce.
