Description
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast is a delicious breakfast treat that combines the flavors of pumpkin and cream cheese in a warm, crispy exterior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 Tbsp of powdered sugar, plus more for topping if desired
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 8 slices thick bread, like brioche or sourdough
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¾ tsp cinnamon
- 1–4 Tbsp of butter
- Maple syrup for topping, if desired
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese in a bowl and combine with pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and set aside.
- In a shallow dish, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Whisk with a fork until well combined.
- On four of your eight slices of bread, spoon a couple of tablespoons of the cream cheese and pumpkin mixture and spread to about 1/4″ from the edges. Top with the remaining slices of bread.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat, dip your stuffed French toast into the egg mixture – dip both sides – and place in the skillet.
- Cook each side until browned and crisp before turning and repeating on the other side. This can take 3-5 minutes per side.
- Remove to a plate and top with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Low and slow cooking helps avoid a burnt exterior with cold filling.
