Overnight Pumpkin French Toast With Streusel Topping
A make-ahead French toast casserole infused with pumpkin flavor with a sweet streusel topping. Perfect for Thanksgiving weekend with family in town.
Overnight Pumpkin French Toast with Streusel Topping is a perfect recipe for Thanksgiving and with guests in town! It can be made ahead, refrigerated overnight and pulled out to bake the next morning. The result is a baked French toast casserole that’s a close cousin to bread pudding that smells heavenly baking. The streusel topping adds a sweet layer of flavor and crunch that makes it company-worthy.
Start with (12 – 16 oz) loaf of French bread or similar style crusty loaf bread, (day old or stale works best to soak up the custard).
Cube the bread and place in a greased 13×9 baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, pumpkin, brown sugar, half and half, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
Pour over bread and refrigerate covered overnight.
For streusel topping: Mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add butter and work it into a flour mix with pastry cutter or fork until crumbly with pea-sized bits of butter. Stir in chopped nuts. Topping can be made ahead and refrigerated separately.
Bake, covered 40 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 – 10 minutes before serving. If desired, dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve with warm maple syrup.
Enjoy!

Sounds delicious but is there a substitute for pumpkin purée and spice as one family member can’t eat pumpkin?
Might have to add this one to try list, sounds fabulous.
