Print Recipe

This Pumpkin Spice French Toast Casserole is a cozy, flavorful dish featuring rich pumpkin and warming spices baked into a custardy bread pudding—perfect for fall breakfasts or brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf of challah or brioche bread, cubed
  • 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Place the cubed bread evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the pumpkin custard mixture evenly over the cubed bread, pressing down lightly to soak all the bread.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  6. Remove from the refrigerator, uncover, and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving with warm maple syrup.

Notes

For added texture, sprinkle chopped pecans on top before baking or serve with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
