Ingredients
- 6 ounces ⅓-less-fat cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie mix
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 16 lices French country-style bread
- 1 ¾ cups 1% milk
- 8 eggs
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg until fairly smooth (it's okay if there are a few lumps).
- Divide the pumpkin mixture across 6 pieces of bread. Place the pieces of bread on top to form sandwiches.
- Preheat a nonstick griddle to 375 degrees or a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. With a nonstick griddle, it's not necessary to use any butter, but you may find you need to coat a nonstick skillet with some butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Transfer to a shallow dish.
- Place sandwiches in the egg batter, working with 2 at a time. Let the mixture soak into the bread, about 1 minute per side.
- Transfer the sandwiches to the prepared griddle or skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer to the oven to keep warm, laying the French toast in a single layer on a wire rack set over a large baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
- Serve with toasted pecans and maple syrup.
