Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 tsp Ground cloves
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Butter, for greasing the pan
- as needed Maple syrup, for serving
- as needed Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, canned pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Lay the bread slices on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the pumpkin filling onto one side of half the slices. Top with the remaining slices to create sandwiches.
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the surface.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated, then place into the preheated skillet.
Cook each stuffed French toast for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter as needed for additional sandwiches.
Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
