Alexis is ALL IN on all things pumpkin spice, so now that she's watched me make this, she's planning to make it every day for the next eight weeks, or until she gets sick of pumpkin spice, whichever comes first.
I'd bet on the eight weeks thing.
To put it bluntly, she's VERY basic and was stunned to learn how easy it is to make this. Now she's all in. LOOK OUT WORLD.
Pumpkin Spice Stuffed French Toast
Italian bread
Eggs
Milk
Vanilla extract
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Cloves
Pumpkin cream cheese
Butter
Let's start with talking about quantities of stuff, shall we? I didn't list them because reasons. This is one of those things that you need to make for however many people you have so let's work it backwards. Each person gets:
- 2 pieces of Italian bread
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon milk
- Dash vanilla extract
- Dash of each spice
- Enough cream cheese to coat two pieces of bread
1. Spread the cream cheese on two pieces of toast. Stick them together, cream cheese sides in the middle.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla, and spices.
3. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Toss in a tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt. Slide the pan around to evenly spread the melted butter.
4. Take your little pumpkin cream cheese sandwich and dip it in the egg mixture. Coat it thoroughly on both sides.
5. Place the eggy pumpkin cream cheese sandwich in the frying pan and cook over medium heat until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip and cook that side, too.
THAT'S IT. You can top it all with a little powdered sugar, or you can embrace the fact that it looks like grilled cheese.
