Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 loaf 1-2 day old bread, cut into 1” cubes
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- maple syrup & powdered sugar (optional), for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250F. Place cubed bread on a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the bread is toasted and hard (but not burned).
- Meanwhile, place the remaining ingredients in a blender. Alternatively, combine them in a jar and shake vigorously OR whisk them together in a bowl.
- When the bread is toasted, place the cubes in an 8×8 glass baking dish. Pour egg mixture over the bread and using a spatula, toss to ensure all the pieces are coated. Note that not all of the bread will be entirely soaked.
- Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge overnight.
- In the morning, preheat the oven to 350F. Bake the casserole for 20-30 minutes, until the tops start to get golden brown.
- Serve warm with maple syrup and powdered sugar (optional).
