One of the things I love about being home with my family for the holidays is gathering for breakfast as a group each day. Breakfast casseroles like this challah bread French toast are perfect because we can make them the night before and then just pop it into the oven.

It takes about 10 minutes to prep this pumpkin French toast at night and then it bakes in the oven for 40 minutes. As it bakes your home will smell lovely and will motivate your family to get to the table!

We served this French toast with bacon and warm maple syrup. It would also be delicious with my homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup in place of maple syrup.
