Pumpkin Pie French Toast

What is this breakfast obsession?

I mean, we may not have talked about it much, but I think it's pretty important that I explain to you my previous apathy for breakfast.  It will help me explain my recent 180-degree turn.

See, I've never been a breakfast eater.  Yes, I know it's the most important meal of the day.  Yes, I know it jump-starts your metabolism.  Yes, I know it gives you energy for the upcoming day of events. But, I didn't see the big deal until now.

In fact, the only thing breakfast ever did for me was make me unbelievably hungry only about an hour later.  And, that often makes the wait for lunch unbearable.

I'm also a glutton.  And, waiting for my next meal is always unbearable.

Diet?  What is that?

Anyway, it's no secret to all of my friends, in person and in cyberspace, that I'm obsessed with pumpkin pie.  It's my all-time favorite dessert, but it really only makes an appearance once a year at Thanksgiving.

If you're like me, you know that this is simply not enough.

So, in searching for pumpkin pie-flavored treats, I found a ton of breakfast options inspired by this fall dessert.  Pumpkin pie for breakfast?

Um, maybe breakfast isn't so bad...

So, here is my first attempt at pumpkin pie for breakfast.

Diet?

No thanks.
