french toast recipe-
French toast is a dish made with bread soaked in an egg and milk mixture, then fried. Traditional french toast is loved by kids and a favorite for breakfast. I especially love this pumpkin version during the cooler weather and around pumpkin season.
TIPS How to Make French Toast-
- Be sure to use a white bread loaf or brioche bread that is sliced thick. If the slices are thin, the toast won’t taste as good.
- Bread that is at least one day old is best.
- To fry the toast, use butter and oil. If you only use butter, it’s easy to burn the bread and have uncooked toast. Combining the two makes for the perfect French toast.
- If you will be using a pan, wipe the pan dry after each batch. A clean pan makes a HUGE difference.
- When dredging the bread in the eggs/milk mixture, don’t let the bread soak too long. It will become soggy! Dredge on both sides and remove.
How to make pumpkin butter topping-
This pumpkin spice butter topping is so addictive and the perfect finish to the French toast. To make the creamy pumpkin butter spread, just combine room temperature butter with confectioner’s sugar and pumpkin pie spice until creamy. You may want to double the recipe – it’s that good.
This pumpkin butter spread can also be made and refrigerated and spread on toast for breakfast with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
Easy Pumpkin Spice French Toast recipe-
French toast is the easiest breakfast to serve. It takes a few minutes to combine all of the ingredients and dredge the bread and once fried, breakfast is served. The pumpkin spice mix is just as easy to make and tastes so good.
This is a wonderful recipe to cook with your kiddos if they like helping in the kitchen. Kids love dredging the bread. Yes, it might not look “as amazing” as yours but so fun. Memories made and that’s all that matters. 🙂
