This Pecan Pumpkin Pie French Toast Casserole recipe is a make-ahead beauty one-dish meal. Really, you could not as for a better breakfast or brunch!
- 1 loaf of day old french bread diced
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 cups Burnbrae Farms Egg Creations Whole Eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree {not pumpkin pie filling}
- 2 tbsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup salted butter diced
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/3 cup pecans
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place the diced bread in the pan, set aside
- In a large bowl whisk together the milk, sugars, cream, eggs, pumpkin puree, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice.
- Pour the liquid over the bread and cover with plastic wrap. Refridgerate for at least 3 hours to overnight. When ready to cook, make the streusel.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sugars, butter and flour and lightly mix. Add in pecans, pie spice and nutmeg and mix.
- Sprinkle the streusel over the french toast mixture and cook at 350 degrees for 50-65 minutes or until thoroughly cooked through. If the top of the streusel gets too brown near the end of the cooking, but still needs more cooking - tent foil over the top to prevent burning.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
This Pecan Pumpkin Pie French Toast Casserole recipe calls for Burnbrae Farms Egg Creations, whole eggs in a convenient carton. Just shake and pour, they are one product which I seem to always have in my fridge, my oldest uses them a lot for her omelettes in fact.
You can use Egg Creations in any recipe which calls for eggs, simply follow the replacement instructions on the carton. With no artificial flavours or preservatives, it’s real eggs – real quick!
Egg creations are available in 6 flavours, while I used original for this Pecan Pumpkin Pie French Toast Casserole recipe, the others would be so great for omelettes, quiches and more.

11/21/2017 at 10:00 amThis recipe had me a pecans with pumpkin. My two favourite combinations….well except chocolate 😉 I love Egg Creations too. It is just not all of my shopping places carry them 🙁 or they just carry the Original excluding any of the flavor ones 🙁 So I do stock up when I see them. So easy to make a quick healthy meal with.
