Notes
If you don't have day-old bread, a trick is to lightly toast it and dunk it in the egg mixture.
Substitutions:
- Milk: you can use whole milk or 2% cow's milk, half and half, or almond milk.
- Day-old bread: any bread will work for this recipe. I prefer egg-based bread because it tends to soak the egg mixture better. Check out the tip below in case you don't have day old.
- Brown sugar: could replace with white or light brown or use maple syrup or honey. The choice is yours!
- Pumpkin pie spice: don't have it; use cinnamon or some nutmeg.
- Butter: replace with ghee or oil (make sure it doesn't have a strong flavor).
