Pumpkin Cream Cheese French Toast Rolls

Genius I tell ya! I've been craving fall flavors and since the fall line of Starbucks coffees are still months away I had to get creative! That combined with my recent French Toast cravings have inspired this new favorite.. and more flavor combinations to come!

What you need:

French Toast Bread (or any soft white or wheat bread will work too)

Cream Cheese

Pumpkin Purée 

Vanilla Extract

Pumpkin Pie Spice

Egg(s)

Milk

Cinnamon/sugar mixture or powdered sugar

 First you will need a rolling pin to flatten out the bread pieces. Just a few rolls in each direction will work well. Next cut the crust off each side. Spread each piece a very think layer of cream cheese and top with a thin layer of your pumpkin purée. I'd say I used about half a tablespoon. Now you roll it up and stick a toothpick through it to hold it together if you need to. 

How many pieces are you making? For every 4 or so pieces you will need a batch of the following egg mixture. 

Egg mixture: In a shallow dish add an egg, 2 tablespoons milk, half a teaspoon vanilla extract, half a teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and a tablespoon of pumpkin purée. Whisk together until combined. 

Coat each of your roll ups in the egg mixture and pre-heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. 

Brown all sides of your roll up in the pan over medium to medium-low heat. You can remove the toothpicks about half way through if they are getting in your way. And they'll probably get in your way. 

Once done you can top your roll ups with butter and powdered sugar, a cinnamon/ sugar mixture or syrup. Perfect for dipping. 

You have to try it!
