In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the pumpkin puree, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Dip each slice of thick bread into the pumpkin batter, ensuring each side is soaked well.

Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter. Let it melt and sizzle.

Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet, cooking for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Stack your pumpkin French toast high on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup, and add toppings if desired.
