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
• 0 as needed Maple syrup, for serving
• 0 as needed Whipped cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, canned pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the surface.

Step 5

Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated, then place into the preheated skillet.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Step 8

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
