Ingredients and variations

Brioche Bread: Brioche bread or challah works perfectly with this pumpkin French Toast recipe. But you could swap it out for another bread, such as so sourdough bread or even Hawaiian rolls. You just want to chose a bread that can hold up to the custard mix and the cream cheese stuffing.

Eggs: Eggs will make the base for the egg-pumpkin custard.

Milk: You will need milk for the egg mixture. You can use any percent milk you wish. I use 2 percent milk for this recipe.

Pumpkin Puree: Pumpkin puree is mixed into the egg custard to give this French toast that pumpkin flavor. Make sure you are using plain pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix that has added sweetener and spices.

Vanilla Extract: Adds flavor to the egg custard.

Spices: The spices are made up of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Honey: Gives the egg custard and the cream cheese filling a touch of sweetness.

Cream Cheese: Plain cream cheese needed for the filling for this pumpkin French toast.

How to make pumpkin French toast stuffed with cream cheese

To make the egg mixture, combine the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and 2 tablespoons of honey to large bowl. Whisk together until fully combined. Set aside.
For the cream cheese filling, add the the softened cream cheese to a separate bowl. Add the 3 Tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Beat together until smooth.
Taking one slice of brioche bread, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto the bread. Top with a second slice of bread, creating a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining bread. You will have five cream cheese stuffed sandwiches.
Taking one cream cheese sandwich at a time, dip it into the pumpkin egg mixture. Flip and coat the other side. Make sure the entire sandwich has been fully coated in the pumpkin egg mixture. Repeat for all the sandwiches.
Add a little butter or oil to a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the coated French toast onto the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown and all the egg has set on the side you are cooking. Flip and cook the other side. The French toast is done when all the egg mixture has fully set. The internal temperature should reach at least 160 degrees F. when done.
Remove from the heat and enjoy with butter, maple syrup, whipped cream or a dollop of yogurt.

Expert Tips

Dip the bread into the pumpkin egg custard for just a few seconds, being sure all the bread is coated. But do not leave the bread in the mixture for too long as it might cause the bread to become soggy or mushy.
Be sure the cream cheese is softened prior to mixing with the honey and vanilla. If the cream cheese is too cold, it will not create that smooth and velvety texture you want. If needed, you can place the cream cheese in the microwave for a few seconds. Keep a close on eye on it to be sure the cream cheese does not melt.
If you are not sure if the French toast is cooked thoroughly, you can check the internal temperature of the French toast. When done, it should reach at least 160 degrees F.
If you have leftovers, you can make the pumpkin French toast per the directions. Let cool and then store in the fridge in an air tight container for about 2 days. When ready to eat, reheat thoroughly in the microwave.
