Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Slice bread into 1 inch thick slices.
  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
  • Whisk together thoroughly.
  • Pour into a large casserole dish.
  • Arrange bread in dish, pushing each piece down into the custard.
  • Let soak 8-10 minutes.
  • Flip over.
  • Let soak another 8-10 minutes.
  • While bread is soaking, heat griddle to 325 degrees F.
  • Brush griddle with clarified butter.
  • Place toast on griddle and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Flip bread over and continue cooking until done, about 3-4 more minutes.
  • Repeat steps until all bread slices are used.

Notes

  • Make sure the bread is thoroughly soaked before frying!
  • The longer you leave the bread in the custard, the more flavor it will have. However, we do not recommend soaking overnight.
  • You can use store-bought brioche or homemade.
  • Canned pumpkin tastes best in this recipe!
  • Frying times may vary depending on how hot your skillet/griddle is. Keep an eye on your bread to keep it from burning.
  • This recipe does not keep well. However, you CAN make the custard the night before and store it in the fridge.
