PUMPKIN FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Pumpkin French Toast Casserole is easy to prepare in advance and bake for breakfast or brunch the next day.

Quick and easy to prepare in 15 minutes.

Why We Love THIS RECIPE

As the casserole sits, the bread absorbs the pumpkin mixture so it’s super soft and moist.

Every bite has a thick, soft, dense texture with a sweet pumpkin pie spice taste.

Perfect make-ahead dish for a lazy morning meal, holiday brunch, or easy weekday breakfast.
