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.
For 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 in the fridge if preferred.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Crumble the streusel topping evenly over the casserole, covering it as much as possible.
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Adjust bake time based on desired texture: shorter for moist, longer for firmer.
Serve warm with syrup and toppings like powdered sugar or fresh fruit.

Notes

The casserole can be assembled the night before for easier morning preparation.
Adjust baking time for your preferred texture: less time for moist, more for firmer.
Feel free to add nuts or other toppings to the streusel for extra flavor.
