Pumpkin Bourbon French Toast

The holidays are right around the corner and that means it’s time to start thinking up fun breakfasts like this Pumpkin Bourbon French Toast! Warming spices and pumpkin combine in the most delicious way to create a tender, thick French toast that’s totally Instagram worthy. Don’t worry, there’s not enough bourbon in there to give you a buzz and most of the alcohol is cooked out anyways, so this French toast is still kid-safe. I like the extra flavor added by the bourbon, but you can always just skip it if you prefer.

Ingredients :
  • 6 3/4" slices day old Wegman's challah bread, (171 grams)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, (6 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, (122 grams)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp bourbon, (1 fl oz)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar, (14 grams)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
Directions :

  1. Heat large skillet or griddle over medium heat for 5 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in a casserole dish or other shallow, wide dish, beat eggs with milk, pumpkin puree, bourbon, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

  3. Soak bread without oversaturating, about 30-40 seconds per side. Pick up bread and allow excess batter to drip off; repeat with remaining slices.

  4. Optional: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in hot skillet or griddle.

  5. Add prepared bread to skillet without overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute 45 seconds on first side and 1 minute on the second. Serve immediately.
