How to Make Pumpkin Custard Bread Pudding

Lightly coat a 3.5-4 quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 2 cups of half-and-half.
Stir in 15 ounces (one can) of pumpkin pie filling until well combined.
Add 6 cups of cubed stale bread (challah, brioche, or your favorite bread) and gently stir until evenly moistened. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to allow bread to absorb moisture.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 3.5-4 hours, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Turn off the slow cooker and let it stand, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
**Alternative Oven Baking Method:** Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread bread cubes in a single layer in a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned.
To serve: Spoon the bread pudding into individual dessert dishes.
Sprinkle each serving with 1-2 tablespoons of chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
Drizzle with caramel ice cream topping (optional).
