Spiced Pumpkin Pie French Toast

Spiced Pumpkin Pie French Toast ~ Super simple to make and super tasty.  The bread really soaks up the orange color from the pumpkin.  I'm loving the flavors of fall!

I've been thinking of ideas for using canned ~ Pumpkin Pie Filling ~ in ways other than the traditional pumpkin pie recipe that comes on the back of the can.  Today, I came up with this simple pumpkin infused version of the classic French Toast. I'm calling it my ~ Spiced Pumpkin Pie French Toast.  I tweaked my Cinnamon Vanilla French Toast recipe a bit, and it delivered.  My son went nuts for this meal and begged for a second plateful.  Good thing the recipe makes 8 slices, otherwise Momma would have had to make another batch!   :)


Spiced Pumpkin Pie French Toast
6-8 slices, depending on the size of your bread
* you can use pure pumpkin puree, just add some pumpkin pie spice, a little sugar and a splash more milk

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin pie filling*
• 3 Tbsp milk
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 6-8 slices of your favorite bread

• cooking spray/Pam
• favorite syrup
• butter or margarine

Directions

Preheat large skillet over medium-low heat.

In a blender, place eggs, pumpkin pie filling, cinnamon & milk ~ blend until combined.  It'll take just a few seconds. Pour mixture into container large enough for a slice of bread to lie in it flat.

Place one slice of bread in container, flip over ~ make sure both sides of bread are covered in egg/pumpkin mixture ~ only dip as many pieces of bread as will fit in the skillet at one time.  

Spray preheated skillet with Pam & put as many egg-dipped slices of bread as will fit.

Cook for approx. 2 minutes per side or until both sides are golden brown.

Dip & cook remaining slices of bread.  Keep all slices warm until finished cooking.  When ready to serve, top with butter & syrup.  Enjoy!
