Cut the wheat French bread into squares, using about 1.5 loaves.

In a bowl, combine 7 eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 2 cups of half-and-half.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons of vanilla extract to the egg mixture.

Add a little sea salt (about half a teaspoon) to the mixture.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Place the cubed bread into a baking dish and pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked.

Let the mixture sit for 10 to 15 minutes in the refrigerator to soak up the custard.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

While the bread is soaking, prepare the streusel topping by mixing 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl.

Cut in cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture until crumbly, using a pastry cutter or your hands.

After the bread has soaked, sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the bread pudding.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes until set and golden brown.
