It’s everything we love about fall on one comforting plate. Creamy, pumpkin-brioche-soaked-bread topped with pecans for that extra crunch and that oh-so-perfect buttermilk glaze.

It’s simply perfect. That is all. And you can make all of this the night before. Simply bake, drizzle and serve in the morning.
