# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 110°C. Heat an electric griddle to 175°C or use a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
02 -
In a shallow bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until fully combined. Gradually whisk in half and half until smooth.
03 -
Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to absorb the liquid evenly on both sides.
04 -
Butter the griddle surface and place soaked bread slices onto it. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about several minutes.
05 -
Butter the griddle again, flip the slices, and cook until golden brown on the opposite side.
06 -
Transfer the cooked slices onto the oven rack to keep warm for up to 10 minutes, ensuring thorough cooking in the center. Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Select a sturdy, quality bread for optimal texture. Spice levels can be adjusted according to preference. Complement with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
