Method
 

Preparation

  2. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a little butter.
Cooking
  1. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin custard for about 30 seconds per side, allowing it to soak up the flavors.
  2. Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they’re golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
Serving

Notes

For the best results, use thick bread like brioche or challah. You can also experiment with spices or toppings like whipped cream.
