Yield: 12 pieces

Ingredients

4 eggs
⅔ c. milk (whole, low-fat or skim)
½ c. pumpkin puree
1½ tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
12 slices Texas toast, french bread, challah, croissant halves
Whipped pumpkin butter:
½ c. (1 stick), salted or unsalted butter, room temperature
⅓ c. pumpkin puree
3 tbsp. maple syrup or honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Directions

Set a large non-stick skillet set over medium heat, add a small amount of butter and melt.
In a rectangular baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
Dip the bread into the mixture, flip sides and then place on the hot skillet. Cook until each side is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Repeat with remaining ingredients, serve hot with whipped pumpkin butter, maple syrup and toasted chopped nuts (if desired).
To make the pumpkin butter, in a small mixing bowl, add the softened butter and beat with a hand mixer for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, vanilla, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Beat for an additional minute or until fluffy. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

– The whipped pumpkin butter can be made with both honey and maple syrup. Some prefer maple syrup when using it on pancakes, waffles and french toast, and honey when using it on rolls.
-If you like your french toast on the sweeter side, add 1 tbsp. of brown sugar to the mixture.
