- ½ cup whole milk
- 8 slices brioche bread
Toppings
- Syrup
- Powdered sugar

Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin pie mix, vanilla extract, and whole milk until fully combined and smooth.
- Dip the bread: Lightly dip each slice of brioche bread into the pumpkin egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaking wet to avoid sogginess.
