Ingredients
For the French Toast Casserole:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 TB granulated sugar
- ⅛ tsp table salt
- 3 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 8 oz pure pumpkin puree
- 6 ½ cups bread cubed, such as a thick French bread, hearty wheat, or fresh Texas Toast
For the Streusel:
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup Chopped Pecans
- ¼ cup roasted pepitas pumpkin seeds, optional
- ¼ cup salted butter cold and sliced
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine all streusel ingredients in a bowl, mixing well until resembles chunky, damp sand.* Cover and keep in fridge to chill.
- Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Grease a 8x8 baking dish with butter on bottom and up sides.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, vanilla, sugar, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Hand-whisk to thoroughly incorporate. Whisk in pumpkin until smooth.
- Add bread cubes to pumpkin mixture and gently toss to fully coat all bread cubes in bowl. It will seem thick and gloppy, which is ok.
- Transfer bread/pumpkin mixture evenly into buttered baking dish. Sprinkle chilled streusel evenly over the top.
- Bake uncovered 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out mostly clean. The topping should be bubbling at the edges, and the center should feel set.
- Let stand at room temp 10 minutes. Serve warm with pure maple syrup.
