Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 8 slices of bread (your choice, preferably thick-cut like brioche or challah)

Egg Mixture

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup Fairlife milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (adjust to taste)

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (adjust to taste)

Additional

  • Butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and pumpkin pie spice until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Make the filling: In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, canned pumpkin, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and well combined. Adjust sweetness or spice to taste.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of the pumpkin cream cheese filling evenly onto one slice of bread, then top it with another slice to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining bread and filling.
  4. Dip the sandwiches: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and add butter. Dip each sandwich briefly into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaked through to avoid sogginess.
  5. Cook the French toast: Place the coated sandwiches onto the heated griddle and cook until golden brown and crispy on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until similarly golden and cooked through, another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Serve warm: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or garnish with fresh fruit for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread like brioche, challah, or Texas toast for best results.
  • Adjust the pumpkin pie spice amount to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder spice flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and milk with plant-based alternatives.
  • Be careful not to soak the bread too long in the egg mixture to prevent it from falling apart.
  • This dish pairs well with warm maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
