Ingredients:

• 4 Eggs
• 2/3 cup Pumpkin Puree*
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 Tablespoons White Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Spice
• 1/2 cup Whole Milk
• 10 Slices Bread**
• Butter, as needed

Directions:

• In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs and pumpkin puree until combined.

• Add in the vanilla extract, followed by the sugar and pumpkin spice. Whisk well before adding the milk. 
• Melt 1-2 Tablespoons of butter in a frying pan set over medium heat (or medium-low heat if your stove runs hotter).
• Once the butter is hot and melted, dip each slice of bread individually into the pumpkin egg mixture, coating both sides of the bread.
• Allow the excess egg mixture to drip off of the bread, back into the container, before placing in the hot frying pan.
• Cook for 3-5 minutes on the first side until well browned, then flip and cook until browned on the second side. (The second side will take less time, so check the cooking progress by using your spatula to lift up the corner and sneak a peek.)
• Remove the bread slice to a clean plate and repeat with all bread slices, adding an additional 1/2 Tablespoon of butter to the pan between each slice.
