Baked Pumpkin French Toast with Brown Sugar Sauce (Edit recipe)

Notes

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons ground ginger 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg 1 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves Combine all the above spices in a small bowl. Mix well and store in a glass airtight container. As you know, we eat with our eyes, and the presentation makes us drool. I have served this dish two ways. The first presentation is to cut a perfect square slice, place it on a dish, pour over the brown sugar sauce, and with an optional dollop of Chantilly. My second presentation is also perfect for the little one, as I served it in a ramekin. Pour the sauce over it and add the dollop of Chantilly. White bread, sweet egg bread, and Challah are the perfect substitutions to the brioche bread. Bourbon can be replaced with whiskey, rum, Madeira, brandy or Cognac. Of course, if children enjoy this pumpkin French toast, you may want to make the same sauce for them, omitting the alcohol. This fantastic pumpkin French toast stores beautifully for several days in the refrigerator, Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Before doing so, it must be at room temperature and placed in the refrigerator. The brown sugar sauce can also be stored in an air-tight glass container for several days. Bring back to room temperature and enjoy.
