Pumpkin French Toast Stuffed with Blackberry-Caramel Mascarpone

This recipe from Bobby Flay and the Food Network is marked as easy and only taking 1/2 an hour to put together. I found it labor intensive and ingredient intensive. The pumpkin french toast is great. I'm not sure the blackberry mascarpone stuffing or the blackberry caramel syrup add much. We ate it the first day with all the components and it was OK, but not particularly better than the second day with some warm maple syrup for the Hub and just powdered sugar for me.

It's certainly impressive though. And if you needed a breakfast to really make a statement - this is it.
