When the leaves start to turn, pumpkin reigns supreme in the kitchen. This sweet, decadent Pumpkin French Toast Casserole from Emily Dingmann at My Everyday Table is a fantastic way to incorporate the beloved fall flavor into your morning meal.

We all love the signs of fall—the crisp mornings, crunchy leaves, cozy meals, and, of course, pumpkin spice everything! I wanted French toast to get the pumpkin treatment and this baked casserole combines all of the warm and cozy pumpkin spice flavors we love this time of year with classic French toast, for a fall breakfast that’s sure to impress.

This crowd-pleasing dish is ideal for holiday mornings, weekend brunches, or anytime you need a special breakfast. It’s sweet, loaded with pumpkin flavor and cozy spices, and has a delicious crunchy streusel topping. And the best part? No need to wake up early to prep; it can all be done the night before. Just assemble, refrigerate, and then bake in the morning for a no-stress breakfast.

Look for the L&B Sourdough Artisan bread in the bakery; it’s perfect for this. I found that a heartier artisan bread is ideal, and the slightly sour flavor pairs perfectly with the sweet pumpkin custard and streusel topping. Serve with extra maple syrup if desired, though I think it’s just the right sweetness as is.

Note: You can prepare the streusel the night before. Simply store in an airtight container in the refrigerator so the butter stays cool.
