Notes

Make Ahead/Freezing Instructions: You can prep this casserole through step 5 up 1 day in advance before you're planning to bake/eat. Be sure to cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it. When ready to bale. remove from the fridge and let sit at room temperature while your oven preheats. You can also freeze the leftover baked and cooled casserole 1-3 months. For best results, thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat in the microwave, or cover and bake in a 350°F (177℃) oven until warm throughout, at least 10 minutes.
Bread: Dry, somewhat stale bread is best for French toast. If you’re in a rush and don’t have time to let the bread sit out, lay the bread slices on a sheet pan and bake in a 350°F (177℃) oven for 5-10 minutes, or until dry and lightly toasted.
Pumpkin Butter: While you can buy pumpkin butter at most grocery stores during the Fall season, we actually have a super simple pumpkin butter recipe on the blog that takes only 30 minutes or less to make!
Allergy Alternatives: For gluten allergies or intolerance, you can swap the bread for your favorite gluten free bread. | Plant-based milk and non-dairy whipping cream can be used in place of the milks in this recipe. | Most egg replacements work well in this recipe. We like using Just Egg!
