Steps:
- Grease a 9×13 inch or any 3-4 quart oven-safe dish with nonstick spray. Slice then cut the bread into cubes, about 1 inch in size. Spread half of the cubes into the prepared baking pan.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the room temperature cream cheese on medium-high speed until completely smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined. Drop random spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture on top of the bread. Layer the remaining bread cubes on top of cream cheese. (I like to make sure some cream cheese is still exposed on top just for looks.) Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, and remaining vanilla together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours and up to 24 hours. Overnight is best.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Remove pan from the refrigerator.
- Whisk the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold cubed butter with a pastry blender or two forks. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the soaked bread.
- Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown on top. I usually bake it for 45 minutes because I like it softer. Drizzle with optional maple syrup or dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.
- Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste. Use fresh maple syrup, cream cheese, and bread.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the casserole tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the casserole rest before baking: This will allow the bread to absorb the liquid and the flavors to meld.
- Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and set in the center: A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Serve the casserole warm with your favorite toppings: Such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
