Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup canned pumpkin purée
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 loaf brioche bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus more for serving
1/4 cup roasted pecans, roughly chopped
Maple syrup, for serving
Powdered sugar, for serving

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt. Dip brioche slices, one at a time, into the egg mixture, allowing each slice of bread to soak for at least 15 seconds.
Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add soaked brioche slices to the skillet. Cook until evenly golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Repeat by melting more butter and cooking the remaining bread.
Serve immediately with a pad of butter, maple syrup, toasted pecans, and powdered sugar. Enjoy!
