1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 slices brioche or challah bread
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla until smooth.
2. Dip each bread slice into the mixture and let it soak for 20 seconds on each side.
3. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted.
4. Place soaked bread in skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
5. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.

Let the bread soak properly—it helps get the full flavor and texture.
Use brioche or challah for the best results; they’re soft yet sturdy.
Cook on medium heat for an even, golden finish without burning.
