Grease a baking dish with butter.

Cut the bread into cubes and place them in the baking dish.

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

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked.

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) before baking.

Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Top with fresh berries if desired.
