Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cut the challah or brioche into 1-inch cubes, and place them evenly in a generously greased 3-quart casserole dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cubed bread, ensuring every piece is thoroughly soaked. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Work in the cold, cubed unsalted butter until crumbly.
- Uncover the casserole, sprinkle with streusel topping, and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
- Allow the casserole to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh berries.
