This Overnight Pumpkin Spice French Toast Casserole is a delicious and easy make-ahead breakfast perfect for fall mornings. Assemble it the night before and wake up to a warm, comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups challah or brioche bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Place bread cubes in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  3. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid.
  4. If using, sprinkle chopped pecans over the top.
  5. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread for best results, as it will absorb the custard better.
  • Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to your preference.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream before serving for an extra touch.
