Baked Pumpkin Cream Cheese French Toast

I can never make a recipe, love it and be happy. If a see a different version, I have to make and I always think I will pick the one that is the best and keep only that one. That almost never happens. I usually end up loving both and can't pick one favorite. So of course I keep both recipes.

This pumpkin French toast is made a bit different and has a few different ingredients than the other Bake Pumpkin Cream Cheese French Toast I recently made. But of course, it is equally delicious and the combination of pumpkin and cream cheese is so tasty.
