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.
