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

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Remove the dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Sprinkle brown sugar and butter pieces over the top of the soaked bread.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
