Pumpkin French Toast - Easy!
-
I admit I haven't tried this, (yet!) but it looks very similar to many recipes I have done with bread in the oven. I love pumpkin, so I'm sure this will be delicious.
8 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 loaf Texas toast thick-sliced bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter, softened
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2.Whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, the cloves, nutmeg, and white sugar together in a bowl; beat in the pumpkin until fully incorporated.
3.Arrange the bread cubes in a single layer in the prepared baking dish; pour the pumpkin mixture over the bread cubes, and gently toss to coat.
4.Stir 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, flour, and butter together with a fork in a small bowl until the mixture is crumbly; sprinkle over the bread cubes.
5.Bake in preheated oven until golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes.NOTE*** I don't like cloves, so I would omit that and bump up the nutmeg. Whole nutmegs are not expensive, they keep a long time and there is nothing like using nutmeg that is freshly grated - just like using freshly ground pepper!

sounds yummy

Looks interesting, but we unfortunately don't have canned pumpkin puree where I live.
-
well, it is not hard to cook a pumpkin and mash it up. Just make sure you get a pie pumpkin and not a decorative one.
-
Ha, unfortunately I'm far too lazy to do that, I'd rather just cook up some muffins or waffles.

When I make this and tell you how delicious it is you may decide it is worth the effort. I just can't imagine wherever you live not having pumpkin in the can if you have an ordinary grocery store you shop at. Perhaps they can order it?
-
Oh, we don't have many, many things what you've got in stores, like spray cheese, pureed everything, hot pockets, bottled broth / stock and so on :blownose:
-
Sorry it's been a long time since my World geography class in college! I don't know what country your flag is on your profile. Where is it? And spray cheese to a cheese lover like myself is a joke. It tastes like plastic, most of it anyway.

I'm from Latvia, that's right between Sweden and Russia
You can just right-click on the little flag in the profile and click 'View image', it will show the name of the country in the address bar, I do it when I can't recognize the flag.
But anyway, the fact is that the choice in your stores is waaay broader than here and I envy you a lot ;D -
Yeah, we do have a lot in the USA. But I bet there is a lot to envy where you live. More choices in food doesn't make up for how impersonal, dirty and increase in rampant crime much of the USA suffers with in recent years. I'm not old enough, I don't think to reminicse about the "good old days" but things are definitely on a downward trend from when I was a kid. Most places anyway.

I haven't yet been to the US, though I reckon it wouldn't be as peaceful as say Sweden or Norway, but hey it's land of opportunity and that's what counts :hug2:

I love pumpkin, so this sounds great!
