How to Make Pumpkin Spice Stuffed French Toast
Prepare the filling by creaming together softened cream cheese, pumpkin, brown sugar and vanilla in a mixer.
Cut French bread into slices that are 2 inches thick, then use a knife to make a slit in the center of each slice to create a pocket for the filling. Alternately, you can slice bread 1 inch thick and spread filling between slices.
Dip each stuffed bread slice in the egg and cream mixture, allowing to soak into the bread for about 2 minutes.
Then flip the bread over and allow to soak in the egg mixture for 2 minutes more.
Fry the bread slices in butter in batches, cooking on each side until golden brown.
Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with hot maple syrup, if desired.
When you serve this pumpkin spice stuffed French toast, you can give it a light dusting of powdered sugar and dig in. But I love to drizzle it with a little hot maple syrup for the ultimate fall flavor mashup.
