In a shallow baking dish, whisk eggs, pumpkin puree, half-n-half, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt. Place bread slices into pumpkin mixture and let soak about 30 seconds per side.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt the Kerry Gold butter. You can cook 2-slices of the bread at a time. Make sure to cook each slice for 4-minutes per side to make them nice and crispy.
While the other slices of bread are cooking, you can keep the cooked slices of French toast warm in the oven at 150-degrees. That way, all of the slices of bread are warmed when you are ready to eat!
Top the Pumpkin Pie French Toast with the pumpkin butter, whipped cream, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Powdered sugar is also a good choice (optional.)
Homemade Pumpkin Butter
In a food processor, add the butter, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and maple syrup. Pulse on the low setting for 3-4 minutes until your butter is nice and smooth. The butter will keep fresh in a glass, airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
