Ingredients

  • 8 oz. cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract. divided
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon divided
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. clove
  • 1/4 tsp. ginger
  • pinch of salt
  • 8-10 slices bread
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2-3 Tbsp. unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. In an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix cream cheese and brown sugar on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula if necessary.
  2. Add pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, clove ginger and salt and continue to mix on medium speed for another minute or so until all ingredients are combined.
  3. Spread mixture evenly on half of bread slices and press together with remaining half of bread to form sandwiches.
  4. In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and remaining teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Dip sandwiches in the egg mixture to coat. Place in the skillet and cook on both sides until golden brown (complete in batches if necessary).

Recipe Notes

  • For the creamiest texture, I like to use whole milk or even heavy whipping cream in the egg mixture. I would not recommend anything thinner, like skim milk.
  • When frying your French Toast, don’t turn the heat up higher than medium. I would even recommend medium-low as the outside of the bread cooks very fast and you want inside to be cooked.
  • Don't walk away from your French Toast! It burns rather quickly and nobody likes burnt toast.
  • Serve your Stuffed French Toast with a dusting of powdered sugar, some fresh fruit, a drizzle maple syrup, and/or butter on top.
