Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of bakery style French bread not the skinny loaves but a thicker loaf
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 c half and half*
  • 1 c pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 3/4 c brown sugar divided
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • Cut the loaf of bread into 1 inch cubes. Put bread cubes inside a 9x13, 3 quart casserole dish that has been liberally buttered or sprayed with nonstick spray. Set aside. In a separate bowl, beat together 6 eggs, half of the brown sugar, the pumpkin, half and half and spices until thoroughly combined. Pour over the bread evenly. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate at least 4 hours but overnight is better.
  • When you are ready to bake, remove from fridge, uncover, and preheat oven to 400. Melt 6 tbs of butter in the microwave and pour evenly over top of the casserole. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar evenly on top of the casserole. Bake at 400 for 30 minutes. Top as desired. Enjoy!
