This Baked Pumpkin French Toast recipe makes a great breakfast as long as you plan ahead. This is one of those recipes that requires it to sit in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before baking. Ideally, you would make it the day before and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
Besides the long resting time in the fridge, there really isn't much to this recipe. The usual egg and milk mixture along with some pumpkin puree and some spices to give the French Toast that Pumpkin flavor.
💭 Ingredient Substitutions
If you don't have any Egg Bread on-hand or have trouble locating some at your local grocery store you can substitute for some Hawaiin Bread. Or any other bread you have at home. Ideally, you want to use a thick cut bread like Texas Toast so the bread can really absorb that pumpkin egg mixture.
Depending on if you are using a glass or metallic baking dish and the position of the rack in the oven, the top may start to "burn" before the bottom is cooked. Simply cover with foil and continue to bake until ready.
