In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a pat of butter.

Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, letting it soak for a few seconds.

Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet, cooking until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Add more butter as needed for subsequent batches, repeating the soaking and cooking process.

Once cooked, serve the pumpkin French toast warm, with your choice of toppings.
