Cut slices of challah bread, or use pre-sliced bread if available.

In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, pumpkin pie spice, and a drop of vanilla extract.

In another bowl, mix softened cream cheese with sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest.

Cut a pocket into each slice of challah bread to stuff with the cream cheese mixture.

Stuff the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each slice of bread.

Heat butter in a skillet until melted and hot.

Place the stuffed bread in the skillet and cook until golden brown, flipping to ensure even cooking.

Serve warm, allowing the filling to be soft and oozy.
