Directions for Pumpkin French Toast Roll-Ups
Let’s make these spiced pumpkin rolls—cozy, seasonal treats!
Prepare Bread and Filling
I flatten 8 bread slices with a rolling pin. In a bowl, I mix ½ cup pumpkin puree, 2 oz cream cheese, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice until smooth. I spread 1–2 tsp of filling on each slice, roll tightly, and set seam-side down for neat festive breakfast treats.
Dip and Cook
In a shallow dish, I whisk 2 eggs, ¼ cup milk, and 1 tsp vanilla. I heat a skillet over medium heat with 2 tbsp butter. I dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and cook in the skillet, turning occasionally, for 5–7 minutes until golden for perfect autumn breakfast delights.
Serve
I transfer spiced pumpkin rolls to a plate, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup, and serve warm for cozy festive breakfast treats.
