In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and cream.

Add mustard, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and fresh thyme to the egg mixture and mix well.

Add the caramelized onions to the custard mixture and stir to combine.

Layer the stale French baguette in a baking dish.

Pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring it is well soaked.

Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour until set.
