Ingredients

FOR THE FRENCH TOAST: 3/4 loaf L&B Sourdough Artisan Bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 9 cups)

Cooking spray

5 large eggs

1 ½ cups whole milk

¾ cup pumpkin purée

¼ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup L&B Pure Maple Syrup

1 teaspoon L&B Pumpkin Spice

2 teaspoons L&B Organic Pure Vanilla Extract

FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING: ½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon L&B Pumpkin Spice

1 teaspoon L&B Ground Cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into tablespoons

⅓ cup chopped pecans or sliced almonds (optional)

Directions

Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and let sit out overnight to dry out. (Alternatively, bake the bread in the oven at 350 F for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly toasted.)
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla.
Add the bread cubes to the pumpkin mixture and stir to coat. Transfer to the baking dish, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and heat the oven to 375 F.
To make the streusel topping: In a small mixing bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and sea salt. Using a pastry cutter or the tines of a fork, cut the butter into the mixture until crumbly and pea-sized. Sprinkle over the casserole. Sprinkle the nuts over the streusel, if using.
Bake until golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve with extra maple syrup, if desired.

NOTE: You can prepare the streusel the night before. Simply store in an airtight container in the refrigerator so the butter stays cool.
