Baked Pumpkin French Toast #SundaySupper

Baked Pumpkin French Toast | alidaskitchen.com #recipes #SundaySupper Baked French Toast is one of my favorite comfort foods that is easy to make and the whole family loves.  Now that the temperatures are getting colder, we are definitely in a fall comfort food frame of mind. I know I am not alone when it comes to my love for pumpkin anything, which is one of the quintessential flavors of fall.   With the warm flavors of pumpkin and cinnamon, this Baked Pumpkin French Toast is pure delicious fall comfort food!

Baked Pumpkin French Toast | alidaskitchen.com #recipes #SundaySupperLast year I made it my mission to come up with the perfect recipe for Baked Pumpkin French Toast.  After many attempts, using my Overnight Blueberry Baked French Toast as inspiration and making several tweaks, I finally came up with the wonderful recipe I envisioned for the perfect Baked Pumpkin French Toast Casserole!  But by the time I finalized the recipe, ‘pumpkin season’ had passed.

So I have been sitting on this gem for over a year and I am so delighted to share it today.  This Baked Pumpkin French Toast Casserole has become a holiday tradition, for Thanksgiving, Christmas and often just because.

Another holiday tradition we like to do during this season of giving is help give comfort to those in need by donating to food shelves, donating holiday gifts for kids or warm clothing.  As Sunday Supper is teaming up with Gallo Family Vineyards this Sunday with the theme ‘giving comfort,’ I am proud to share an inspiring campaign.  Gallo, with their Every Cork Counts campaign, has partnered with Meals on Wheels Association of America to help fight hunger this holiday season.  From now until December 31, 2014, for every Gallo wine cork that gets submitted (either a photo electronically or via mail), Gallo will donate $1 to Meals on Wheels Association of America (up to $50,000).  It doesn’t get any easier than that!  Click here to find out more information on the Every Cork Counts campaign.

This week for Sunday Supper, we are sharing favorite fall comfort foods featuring the Pinot Grigio or Cabernet Sauvignon wines as part of the recipe or as a pairing. This Baked Pumpkin French Toast Casserole makes an excellent brunch or breakfast for dinner meal that pairs beautifully with the Pinot Grigio. The Cabernet Sauvignon is one of my favorite wines to pair with beef, such as this comfort food classic Pop-in-the-Oven Beef Stew.
