Description
Pumpkin French Toast casserole is such a warmly spiced, custardy brunch delight! Assemble it quickly the night before, then just bake it in the morning.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Sliced Pumpkin Spiced Or Cinnamon Swirl Bread
- 8 whole Eggs
- 1-½ cup Milk
- ½ cups Pumpkin Puree
- ½ cups Pumpkin Butter
- 1-½ teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 pinch Salt
- Chopped Walnuts, As Needed For Topping
- Maple Syrup, As Needed For Topping
Preparation
Lightly spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray. Evenly distribute the bread cubes in it to form a big layer. Whisk the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin butter, pumpkin pie spice and salt together in a bowl until smooth. Pour the mixture over the bread. Make sure the bread is in an even layer and covered in the liquid. Cover the baking pan and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.
The next morning, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Take the baking pan out and remove the cover. Bake the casserole for about 45–50 minutes. The bread should get slightly crispy on top and the custard should be completely set. Allow it to cool when it’s done for about 5 minutes. Then cut into the desired portions and serve immediately with chopped walnuts and syrup on top!
