Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah preferred for richness)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (your choice: whole, almond, oat, etc.)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for added sweetness)

Butter or oil (for frying)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Whipped cream or powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the batter: In a spacious mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until slightly frothy. Add the milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and brown sugar (if you choose to use it). Then, sprinkle in the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

    Dip the bread: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a pat of butter or a drizzle of oil and allow it to melt and coat the surface. While the skillet heats, take each slice of bread and immerse it into the pumpkin spice batter, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off to avoid sogginess.

      Cook the French toast: Once the skillet is warm, carefully place the coated slices of bread onto it. Cook for about 2 to 4 minutes per side, watching for a golden-brown color and a slightly crispy texture. If necessary, add more butter or oil to the skillet for subsequent batches to ensure even cooking.

        Serve: Once cooked to perfection, transfer the French toast to a serving plate while it's still warm. Generously drizzle with maple syrup, and, for an added festive flair, finish with a dollop of whipped cream or a light dusting of powdered sugar.

          Enjoy: Take a moment to revel in the comforting flavors of pumpkin spice. Enjoy your delightful breakfast and the cozy atmosphere it creates!
