So, you know the whole “mix and match” thing comes from me using tried and true recipes and just tweaking them a bit to give them a fresh new taste. Well, the other day, I needed to take something to church for breakfast and I “mixed and matched” a version of my French Toast Casserole and made it a little more fall by using pumpkin bread as the base. Same recipe, new FALL flavor. Whether you make your pumpkin bread from scratch or buy a loaf from the bakery, you will love this breakfast recipe!
(And pssssst: I have several versions of a French Toast Casserole on here: Cranberry Orange, Red, White & Blueberry, Blueberry, Peanut Butter & Banana…you should check them all out!)
This serves 6 adults.
