Prepare the Bread

Start by cutting or tearing a loaf of French bread into bite-sized chunks. Distribute the pieces evenly into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Whisk the Egg Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Soak the Bread

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread chunks. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top, then gently toss to make sure every piece is soaked. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Make the  Crumble Topping

In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped pecans. Cut in cold butter until it forms a crumbly texture. Refrigerate until morning.

Preheat and Assemble

Take the casserole out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the bread.

Bake to Perfection

Bake the casserole for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!

Serve and Enjoy!

Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes, then serve with warm maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries. Every bite is soft, custardy, and sweet!
