Pumpkin Pie “Stuffed” Challah French Toast

Pumpkin season is nearly here! Let’s celebrate by slathering pumpkin pie spiced mascarpone between beautifully fluffy slices of Challah.

This summer is flying by. And everyone knows that pumpkin season is next in line!

I’ll admit – coming up with a pumpkin recipe with so many autumn flavors felt kinda wrong when it was close to 100 degrees outside, but it tasted oh so good!

We love Challah French Toast in my house, and I thought it would be fun to take all of the warm spices that permeate my favorite pumpkin pie and turn them into a filling fit for a breakfast sandwich.

This recipe is the perfect way to kick off any autumn day. Heck, it was a great way to kick off a summer day, too!

Instructions

1. Heat griddle to medium-high. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. When the griddle is hot, add a tablespoon each of butter and oil and spread around until melted.
2. Dip slices of Challah into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak in for a few seconds before flipping over to soak into the opposite side. Place onto the hot griddle and allow to cook until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
3. While Challah is cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk together filling ingredients (or use an electric mixer) until well blended. Once the slices of Challah are done cooking, spread a nice thick layer of the pumpkin pie spiced mascarpone on half of them, and top them each with one of the remaining slices to make sandwiches.
4. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and a nice sprinkling of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
