pumpkin pie french toast

i made this for my mom for her birthday. she loves french toast and she loves pumpkin pie so it was perfect for her. my choosey nephew and brother in law enjoyed it too. it's super easy to make. it like making a pumpkin pie but u dip the bread into the mixture instead of baking it.

Ingredients

* 3 large eggs
* 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
* 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
* 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
* 8 slices day-old bread

Directions

1. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
2. Whisk eggs, half and half, pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and walnuts together in a bowl. Soak one slice of bread at a time in the pumpkin mixture, then place in the prepared skilled. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread. Stir the pumpkin mixture between dips to keep the walnuts from settling. Cook the bread until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.

i used evaporated milk instead if half and half because that's what i use when making a pumpkin pie but you can use regular milk instead. i also used nutmeg and all spice instead of pumpkin spice and i cut out the walnuts. i only used two eggs but i think using just one egg would be just fine.
