In our home we enjoy some sort of French toast casserole for breakfast on Thanksgiving and Christmas morning. It’s the scent of warm cinnamon baking while we watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, or while we are unwrapping gifts on Christmas morning that gives it an extra holiday feel. It’s just part of our tradition. I couldn’t see our holiday mornings without it.  This year we are adding a new flavor twist on our favorite holiday tradition with this Cinnamon Cream Cheese Stuffed Pumpkin French Toast Casserole. Say that fast five times. Ha. It’s a mouthful to say, and it’s a mouthful to eat, but it’s one that, if you love French toast casserole or stuffed French toast for that matter, then this is going to become your favorite.

I think we ate French toast no less than 20 times for dinner over the last couple of months while I was trying to find the one that made everyone say “this is it.” We had a lot of really sweet, but tasty dinners that we balanced out with sausage and bacon. I finally nailed down a recipe that was perfect, and I knew that this one was it. Stuffing it with a cinnamon cream cheese is just so perfect. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it before.

The idea came from my wanting a pumpkin French Toast casserole because Thanksgiving and pumpkin are best friends. The stuffed part came from Kayla. She said something about those stuffed French Toasts from IHop are amazing, so why can’t you stuff this with cream cheese some how. Well I can, I did, and you can too! You’re welcome!

This is a sweet breakfast, but it’s not as sweet as other French toast casseroles I’ve had before. I decided that the less sweet the better, that way the consumer can decide how much maple syrup they want to top it with. I’ve used fresh ciabatta bread from Publix, but you could use any bread that you can slice up into thick chunks. You don’t need this to soak overnight (yay), it only needs two hours, but I prefer soaking overnight, because I don’t want to get up two hours early to prep this.

This would be perfect for a holiday brunch! Or just any day you feel like having a French toast casserole that’s a little extra special. Talk about a perfect weekend breakfast! I also like to serve up French toast casseroles for birthday breakfasts because it’s an extra special breakfast. I don’t know about you, but we don’t eat this kind of breakfast on the regular. Although wouldn’t it be nice if you could?!

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Stuffed Pumpkin French Toast Casserole

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Stuffed Pumpkin French Toast Casserole is the ultimate in breakfast casseroles. It's creamy, sweet, and a holiday breakfast staple. 

Author Joanna

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons Rodelle Pumpkin Spice Extract
  • 16 ounces ciabatta bread, or other bread of your choice, cut into cubes

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Crumb Topping

  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, light
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl attached to a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese for two minutes, until it's nice and creamy. Beat in the cinnamon and confectioners sugar until fluffy. About two minutes. Set aside.

  2. In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice extract until nice and foamy on the top. Set aside.

  3. In an 11X7 inch baking dish spray the sides and bottom with non-stick cooking spray. Place half of the cubed bread in the bottom, and pour half the of the pumpkin mix over the top evenly. Spread the cream cheese filling over the tops. It's messy, but well worth it. It's better to dollop it all over, and then use a rubber spatula to spread it. Top the cream cheese mixture with the rest of the bread cubes, pour the remainder of the pumpkin mix over that, and using a rubber spatula, give it a good mushing down. Cover with foil and place in the fridge for two hours, or overnight.

  4. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the topping by mixing the ingredients in a small bowl, and mix with your fingers until you get coarse crumbs. Sprinkle all over the top of the bread, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Serve immediately with warmed maple syrup.

    This is the perfect breakfast or brunch recipe! I love that it only has 3 eggs because some french toast casseroles can be way too eggy for my taste. Your recipe looks perfect! I know my holiday guests will love to wake up to the smell of this casserole baking.

  3. Jessica Joachim

    This looks so delicious! I’ve never used ciabatta bread in my french toast casseroles, we usually use cinnamon swirl, but we may have to try it using ciabatta bread. Looks delicious!

    I love to make a breakfast casserole for Christmas morning too. It is one less thing I have to worry about. This recipe looks delicious and I need to try it. It is a plus that I can make it the night before.

    This looks seriously so delicious. I have always wanted to make stuffed french toast and making it into a casserole just would make that easier!

    OK…this is FALL on a plate. What a great weekend brunch item. You can never have too many pumpkin recipes in my books. I can just imagine the aroma as this bakes.

    Beautiful idea for a family breakfast and also for a Thanksgiving brunch. The combination of flavors is delightful. Casseroles are such good options to feed a crowd.

    We usually enjoy some sort of big breakfast/brunch with a French Toast casserole for Christmas morning too and I love your cream cheese stuffed version!

    October 28, 2017 at 7:03 AM

    Wow this is a creative recipe! I like not only is it tasty but also adds in some autumn flair with the pumpkin as an ingredient. Very nice!

  20. Nikki

    October 28, 2017 at 8:46 AM

    Oh my gosh, there are SO many good things about this breakfast treat! I would end up eating half of the pan myself! I love pumpkin, and cream cheese stuffed french toast is one of my favorite things to eat when we go out for breakfast.

  21. Noel

    October 28, 2017 at 9:01 AM

    What a nice twist on the usual breakfast casseroles. This one seems like it would be good enough to eat from the pan, but I’m a huge maple syrup fan so would be drowning my serving in syrup! LOL

  22. Calleigh K

    October 28, 2017 at 12:00 PM

    I can hear my waist is screaming for mercy everything I see this kind of desserts. Indeed, its perfect for Thanksgiving.

  23. Sarah Bailey

    October 28, 2017 at 12:41 PM

    I love the concept of a French toast casserole. Sounds super yummy and like it would be great with a cup of coffee. I eat pancakes and waffles from time to time. But I honestly haven’t had French toast since I was a kid. So now I’m totally craving it.

  32. Melissa Chapman

    October 28, 2017 at 7:35 PM

    Wow this looks like a lovely recipe to recreate. I enjoy making sweet treats that also have a hearty taste. Thank you for enlightening me with this recipe.

    October 28, 2017 at 7:49 PM

    This casserole looks insanely delicious. I love the idea of making it part of your holiday tradition. I may add it to my Thanksgiving shopping list. It would be fun to surprise my family with it one morning.

  34. Kimberly C.

    October 28, 2017 at 9:18 PM

    Don’t laugh but I haven’t made a casserole in so long, and as a mother with many little minions, this must be corrected now! Thank you for this recipe, I can almost taste it!

  35. AnnMarie John

    October 28, 2017 at 9:39 PM

    French toast is my absolute favorite breakfast treat. You can have pancakes and waffles. Just give me French Toast but this recipe takes the dish to another sphere. I may not have kiddos in the house any more to make French Toast but this dish I’ll make just for me.

  39. Jeanine

    October 29, 2017 at 9:29 AM

    I am not a fan of pumpkin but that said my husband is as are a few of my kids and I know they’d LOVE this. I am going to make it for them!

    October 29, 2017 at 12:08 PM

    Now that’s a beautiful fall recipe. Love the idea of pumpkin, cream cheese and cinnamon. I can almost smell the cinnamon in there. Love the color pumpkin gives this – perfect for a fall weekend in our home.

  42. Erica D Ardali

    October 29, 2017 at 3:48 PM

    I love baked french toast. I make a pretty mean one myself! I love how different this one looks and I bet the cream cheese just adds to the yum factor.
