Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of brioche or challah bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
- 2 cups whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Place the cubed bread evenly into the prepared dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to soak the bread.

- Before baking, sprinkle the top evenly with brown sugar and chopped pecans if using.
