I don’t know about you guys, but I love french toast. It’s the simplest dessert/breakfast and there are tons of recipes for it. And since autumn means pumpkin-flavoured everything, I made this Pumpkin French Toast.
This recipe is somewhere in between classic French Toast and a French Toast Casserole, and I’ll explain how: It’s made in the oven and has some sort of ‘filling’, which brings it closer to a casserole, but it’s still crispy and made with classic toast instead of thicker slices of bread, just like the well-known classic.

Tips and tricks for Pumpkin French Toast:
-I baked the toast in the oven’s tray and the result was pretty good.
-I used this milk, but choose whatever suits you.
-Bake the toast in just one layer, that’s how it gets to be crispy. Overlaying it might lead to losing texture, so you’ll probably get a soaky french toast. And who wants that?!
-If you’re not crazy about pumpkin, just use 3 eggs instead.
-Try eating the French Toast while it is warm. It’s not bad cold either, but it works wonders when it’s out of the oven.
