I'm well-aware of the fact that fall is over, but I figured I'd post one more "fall" recipe that will warm both your belly and your soul. I was obsessed with pumpkin this fall. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin seeds. So I decided to explore another pumpkin flavored treat: pumpkin stuffed french toast. It seemed like a simple concept, so I made up the recipe myself.
1. Purchase a loaf of thick french bread or Challa bread. Cut it into about 1 inch slices.
2. Carefully cut a slit about halfway through the slices. You may want to carve out a little bit of the inside. This is where the filling will go.
3. In a medium bowl, mix 3 tablespoons softened cream cheese, 3 tablespoons canned pumpkin, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (you can substitute cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves) and 3 teaspoons sugar. Blend together well.
4. Using a small spoon, carefully insert filling into bread slices. You might have a little excess on the outside.
5. Fill all the slices until you are out of the pumpkin mix.
6. In another medium size bowl, scramble 6-7 eggs. You can add a couple tablespoons of milk and a teaspoon of vanilla if you'd like.
7. Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture to coat the entire piece. Then place in a lightly greased frying pan. Cook for about a minute on each side, or until they are cooked through.
8. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
Voila!
