For a richer flavor, use full-fat half-and-half or substitute heavy cream for half of the half-and-half. Toasting the pecans before chopping will enhance their nutty flavor. Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, for the pecans. For an extra touch of flavor, add 1/4 cup of bourbon or rum to the pumpkin mixture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace bread cubes in the prepared baking dish; pour half-and-half evenly over the bread. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, sugar, eggs, raisins, pecans, melted butter, pumpkin pie spice, and orange zest until well combined. Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is moistened. (10 minutes)
04
StepGently press the bread cubes down into the custard to ensure they are submerged. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid. (15 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the middle is set and the edges are golden brown, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. To prevent excessive browning, tent the dish with foil halfway through baking if needed. (55 minutes)
06
StepLet cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, plain or with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
