Instructions
- Prepare Custard
In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar until smooth. - Heat Skillet
Melt 1½ tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. - Dip Bread
Coat each slice of bread in custard mixture, letting excess drip off. - Cook
Place bread in skillet, cooking 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Work in batches, adding butter as needed. - Serve

Notes
- Use day-old bread for best texture: it holds custard well and creates a crisp outside.
