• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and lightly flour two 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pans. Set aside.
• TO TOAST NUTS: Place the nuts on a baking sheet and bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until brown and fragrant. Cool completely, and then chop coarsely. Set aside.
• CREAM CHEESE FILLING: In your food processor, process the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and process just until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, processing just until incorporated. Do not over process! Stir in the flour. Set aside.
• PUMPKIN BREAD: In a large bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

• Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir just until the ingredients are combined. (A few streaks of flour is fine.) Do not over mix! Doing so will make the bread tough.
