Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  • Gently toss in the bread cubes, making sure each piece is coated in the mixture. Let soak for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter until bubbling. Ensure it doesn't burn.
  • Add half of the soaked bread cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Gently flip each cube and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until evenly golden brown.
  • Transfer the cooked bites to a plate and repeat with the remaining bread cubes, adding more butter as necessary.
  • Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar.

Notes

Ensure bread is slightly stale for better absorption. Customize toppings as desired.
