This baked pumpkin French toast casserole combines creamy pumpkin custard with thick slices of brioche. After an overnight soak, it bakes to golden perfection with a buttery brown sugar topping. Serve with maple syrup for a delicious autumn breakfast.

Directions

Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Arrange the bread slices in the dish, overlapping them slightly.

Whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Mix in the vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, sugar, and pumpkin puree until smooth. Stir in the milk until fully combined.

Evenly pour the pumpkin mixture over the bread slices.

Cover the dish and refrigerate for a minimum of two hours, or up to overnight, to let the bread soak.

When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and let the casserole sit on the counter while the oven warms up.

Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse sand. Sprinkle this topping over the casserole.

Bake the casserole for 30 to 40 minutes, until it is golden brown and set.

Serve warm with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar.
