Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the pumpkin filling.
- If you prefer a sweeter French toast, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey to the pumpkin filling.
- Use day-old bread for the best results. It will absorb the filling better and prevent the French toast from becoming soggy.
- Experiment with different toppings! Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts, seeds, or fresh herbs for extra texture and flavor.
