Instructions

Add the eggs, half & half, pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg to a mixing bowl. Blend with a hand mixer until smooth & creamy. Set aside.
4 large eggs, 1 cup half & half, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Set a large skillet over medium heat and melt some butter in it. Alternatively you can spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Quickly dip a slice of bread into the prepared mixture, just long enough to coat both sides then immediately transfer it to the warm skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes, per side, just until golden brown and cooked through.
8 thick slices brioche bread
Transfer the cooked piece of pumpkin french toast to a waiting serving plate, then repeat for the remaining slices of bread.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

Adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to suit your taste.
You could skip the cinnamon and nutmeg and use 1.5 teaspoons of pumpkin spice instead.
Using slightly stale brioche bread is best. It helps the French toast hold together.
Make sure to leave enough space in the pan so you can flip the bread.
