Steps:
- For the French toast: Grease the baking pan with butter. Tear the bread into chunks, or cut into cubes, and evenly distribute in the pan. Crack the eggs in a big bowl. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover the pan tightly and store in the fridge until needed (overnight preferably).
- For the topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and some nutmeg in a separate bowl. Stir together using a fork. Add the butter and with a pastry cutter, and mix it all together until the mixture resembles fine pebbles. Store in a re-sealable plastic bag in the fridge.
- When you're ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the fridge and sprinkle the topping over the top. Bake for 45 minutes for a softer, more bread pudding texture or for 1 hour or more for a firmer, crisper texture.
- Scoop out individual portions. Top with butter and drizzle with warm pancake syrup and sprinkle with blueberries.

OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST
If you have a crowd for breakfast, overnight French toast is a winning idea. Instead of standing over the stove, cooking slice after slice, it bakes in the oven and emerges puffed and golden and ready for a big glug of maple syrup. Try making it with a stale loaf that you forgot to eat amid all the other holiday goodies. A fat brioche, fruit-filled panettone or a braided challah all work well. Stay away from croissants, though: Their chewy interiors are best enjoyed fresh.

Steps:
- Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Butter the front sides of the slices of bread and shingle the slices upright in the dish, overlapping as necessary. Nestle the raisins evenly between the slices of bread but not on top.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and salt until well combined. Pour the milk mixture over the bread and press the bread gently to absorb. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the plastic wrap. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the top. Bake until puffed, golden and set in the center, 50 to 60 minutes. While baking, if the top begins to get too dark, tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with maple syrup.

Tips:
- Use a good quality bread: For the best French toast, use a thick, hearty bread that will hold up well to the custard. Some good options include French bread, sourdough, or challah.
- Make the custard in advance: The custard can be made up to 24 hours in advance, which makes this recipe perfect for a busy morning. Simply whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Soak the bread in the custard: The longer the bread soaks in the custard, the more flavorful and custardy the French toast will be. Aim to soak the bread for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than overnight.
- Cook the French toast over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bread from burning and will allow the custard to cook through evenly.
- Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh out of the pan. Top with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Overnight French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish that is perfect for a crowd.
