Pumpkin Pie Spice French Toast made with Homemade Italian Bread

 

Yesterday we worked on making homemade bread for a few hours. One of the many benefits of making fresh homemade bread is using the leftovers. Today I made one of my husband’s favorites French Toast Recipes.

My sister also loves French Toast as well. Growing up that is all she would eat for breakfast when we would have sleepovers at my grandma and grandpas. So I deocate this recipe to my sister Jenna Lynn and my husband Josh.
This recipe yields 5 slices of toast.  

Ingredients: 

2 tb puréed pumpkin 

1/4 cup egg substitute 

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/2 cup skim milk or unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1 Tablespoon of raw sugar 

1 tsp pure vanilla extract 

5 slices of freshly made day old bread

1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter or cooking spray

Optional ingredients powdered sugar & pure maple syrup (as pictured) 

Directions:

1. In a medium deep bowl mix first six ingredients and whisk them together well.

2. Place nonstick sauté pan on stove on medium heat. Add pad of butter Or cooking spray. 

3. Soak slice of bread on both sides in the wet ingredient mixture. Place on sauté pan and cook for 2 minutes then flip and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes or until browned on both sides. Repeat with additional slices. 

4. Enjoy with either pure local maple syrup or powdered sugar. Or if you are feeling really  advantageous you could use both like my husband.
