Pumpkin French Toast with Fig-Maple Syrup & Allspice Butter

In my opinion Breakfast anytime of the day is the best meal of the day.

There were not many modification to this recipe except the bread we used. We used a sourdough loaf that my sous chef Rob sliced into perfecty one inch slices. I did change the syrup recipe because I did not have any pure maple syrup. The recipe for the syrup is

1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
1/2 cups of packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp maple flavor
1/2 tsp pure vanilla
10 quarterd figs

Bring all ingredients to a boil over medium heat and boil until thick about 5-7 minutes. I removed the figs before serving for the kids but I am sure they would be great on the french toast as well. We served the french toast with hash browns and scrambled eggs.

What made this meal wonderful was the friends that came over for a Sunday afternoon Linner Brunch. We all had fun talking, cooking, and eating and that is what cooking food is all about.
