Instructions

Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish and set aside.
Cut bread into 1-inch chunks and spread them evenly in the bottom of the casserole dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, both sugars, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread, coating all the pieces.
Cover the casserole and store it in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add butter and cut into the dry mixture until it forms a crumble. Store this mixture in the fridge overnight if desired.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF when ready to bake the casserole.
Crumble the streusel topping evenly over the top of the casserole, covering as much as possible.
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, adjusting baking time for desired texture.
Serve warm with syrup and toppings like powdered sugar or fresh fruit.

Notes

You can prepare the casserole a day in advance for a hassle-free breakfast.
Adjust the baking time according to your texture preference—shorter for softer, longer for firmer.
