Instructions
Pumpkin Pie Filling Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix using either a whisk or a hand mixer until smooth. An immersion blender would also work.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble and cook French toast.
Egg Wash Instructions
- In a shallow bowl large enough for a piece of bread to lay flat, whisk together all ingredients.
French Toast Instructions
- On half of the slices of bread, evenly spread the pumpkin pie filling. Place remaining bread on top of each slice to create sandwiches.
- In a large nonstick skillet or on an electric griddle over medium heat, melt butter. (If your skillet is small and you have to cook each French toast sandwich individually, start by only using 1 tbsp of butter. You'll need one tbsp of butter for each sandwich you're cooking. If you're cooking 2 sandwiches, use two tbsp, etc.)
- Dip each of the sandwiches in the egg wash, flipping to coat both sides just before you add them to the melted butter, cooking in batches if need be. If you leave them in the egg wash too long before cooking, they'll become soggy.
- Cook each side of the sandwich for approximately 3-4 minutes each or until golden brown on both sides. If you're using a smaller pan and cooking in batches, make sure you wipe the pan out after each batch.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You can absolutely double the egg wash mixture and french toast ingredients if you want to use up all of the pumpkin pie filling!
