Walnuts and almonds are often more affordable than pecans.

Chop a loaf of brioche bread into cubes and leave it out overnight, covered, to become crusty.

In a bowl, whisk together 8 eggs, 1 cup almond milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 2 cups heavy cream until combined.

Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and press the bread down to soak it in the mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup softened butter, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup until combined.

Crush 1 cup of pecans into smaller pieces and mix them into the topping mixture.

Spread the topping mixture evenly over the soaked bread in the baking dish, being careful not to disturb the bread too much.

Cover the dish and refrigerate for about 2 hours.

Remove the dish from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the casserole for 50 to 55 minutes at 350°F until golden and set.

Allow to cool slightly before drizzling with additional maple syrup and serving.
