Ingredients

1 loaf Texas Toast
8 large eggs
¼ cup pumpkin puree
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons butter, divided

Cinnamon Honey Butter

Instructions

In a large, shallow bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin puree, heavy cream, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Whisk until fully combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium heat.
Dip Texas toast into egg mixture, fully coating both sides, and then place in the heated pan.
Let cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until egg mixture is cooked and toast is browned.
Repeat until the whole loaf is cooked.
Top with cinnamon honey butter and maple syrup and enjoy.

Notes

Use thick bread: Texas toast works especially well because the slices are thick enough to absorb the egg mixture without becoming too fragile.
Use a shallow bowl: It makes dipping the bread much easier and helps you coat both sides evenly.
Whisk the mixture well: Make sure the pumpkin puree, eggs, cream, and spices are fully incorporated.
Don't soak the bread too long: You want the Texas toast coated and flavorful without making it too difficult to transfer to the pan.
Keep the heat at medium: Cooking over medium heat gives the French toast enough time to cook through while allowing the outside to brown.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Give each slice enough room to cook evenly.
Use butter between batches: Add more of the divided butter to the pan as needed to keep the toast cooking in a buttery surface.
Watch the edges: The toast should be golden brown and the egg mixture should be cooked before you flip it.
