Ingredients
  

1 loaf of brioche bread, cubed

6 large eggs

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup maple syrup (plus extra for serving)

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Place the cubed brioche bread evenly in the dish.

    Make the Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

      Combine and Soak: Pour the custard mixture over the cubed brioche, ensuring that all pieces are well coated. If desired, stir in the chopped pecans for added texture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results, allowing the bread to soak up the custard.

        Bake in Oven: Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and preheat the oven again if necessary. Drizzle half a cup of maple syrup evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

          Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm, drizzled with additional maple syrup.
