"Guess what I made this into a french toast bake and it was delicious. I first greased a 9x13 pan and loaded it up with bread cubes. Next I took the recipe's liquid ingredients along with the pumpkin..." See more and pureed it all in the blender. Next, poured it over the bread cubes and baked it for 35-40 minutes at 350F. When it was done I sprinkled cinnamon sugar over top and drizzled with powder sugar and milk glaze. Yummy from all my coworkers. and what raves! Just remember to heavily grease the pan and easy clean up. Another Bake and Take."

"Great jumping off point. After reading some of the reviews, I thought I could make this a little more "pumpkin-y". I took 1/2 c. pumpkin and whipped it with 1/4 c. powdered sugar and 1/2 c. cream chee..." See morese. I added 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice when it was near the end of whipping. I also added pumpkin pie spice to the egg mixture instead of the spices alone. I spread the pumpkin-cream cheese mixture inside of two slices whole wheat bread and made stuffed french toast. I served it with hot maple syrup and bacon. This made for a nice lazy Sunday lunch."

"This was really good, but as other reviewer stated, not very pumpkin-y. I guess that's good if you are hiding the pumpkin in there for extra vitamins, but not so good if you LOVE pumpkin like we do :..." See more) Next time I will try more pumpkin and less egg to see what happens. I used some pumpkin pie spice in place of the cinnamon and nutmeg, and I added a little sugar to the batter to sweeten it up some as grandson does not use syrup."
