Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg mixture. Combine eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until smooth.
Heat a skillet or griddle and melt butter. Dip bread slices into the pumpkin mixture, allowing it to soak, then cook on the skillet until golden.
Cook the French toast. Repeat with remaining slices, adding butter as needed. Serve warm with syrup and powdered sugar.

Notes

Day-old bread works best for soaking up the custard.
For an extra treat, add chopped pecans or whipped cream.
To make it dairy-free, use almond milk and a vegan butter substitute.
