French toast is given a fun fall twist with this extra-moist pumpkin spiced french toast that’s generously drizzled with a cream cheese glaze.—Pumpkin cheesecake french toast!
Saturday bruuuuunch time! French toast binge-time in 3…2…1…
CHEESECAKE style! Get ready, cause it’s going dooooown!
Friends, and fellow pumpkin-addicts: I present to you the weekend breakfast of your dreams. And yeah, I don’t take that term lightly: Remember these pancakes earlier this week? Same kinda dream deal.
CURRENTLY: French toast with glorious pumpkin and spices. And luscious cheesecake glaze drizzled into every nook and cranny. Like so much glaze.
Ratio of like 1:2 from french toast to glaze. 
Today’s french toast insanity is celebrating kiiiiinda an awesome event: A virtual fall baby shower for the uber-talented and amazing Megan from With Salt and Wit who’s having a little BOY next month! Congrats again, girl!
A bunch of awesome bloggers and I teamed up to shower this special lady with ALL the fall recipes today. See the end of this post for an EXTENSIVE and somewhat-droolworthy list. 😉
Right now, though we REALLY just need to get our weekend on in the french toasty-kinda way.
Are you one of those people who like, reaaaaally loves the whole concept and end results of weekend brunchin’, but seriously hates all the precious weekend time spent throwing it together? We should totally be friends, cause I’m exactly the same way!
I really just love eating brunch. Like 24/7 theend.e But the prep time? Uhh I prefer my pillow on the weekend, thanks.
The point in all this incoherent rambling? This french toast is the EASY of the peasy! It’s basically just whisk’n’dip’n’cook’n’glaze and swan dive into all the stacks.
I mean, you COULD wait for the rest of the family to roll out of bed and have a proper brunch, but honestly? The early bird gets the french toast and the morning slugs get the leftover crumbs.
Manners and pumpkin cheesecake french toast just do not mix. Sorry. 😉
Last mini-rant: pumpkin +cheesecake + french toast = for BREAKFAST. Excuse me while I go scream these good news to the world.
Also excuse me while I go make this french toast like 105 more times before the weekend is over.
This is called LOVE. ♥
