Instructions

Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish and set it aside.
Cut the 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, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Cover the casserole and store it in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
To prepare the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture forms a crumble. This can be stored in the fridge overnight if preferred.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Crumble the streusel topping evenly over the top of the casserole, covering as much as possible.
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Bake for less time for a softer texture or longer for a firmer texture.
Serve warm with syrup and toppings such as powdered sugar or fresh fruit.

Notes

You can prepare the casserole the night before for convenient morning serving.
Adjust baking time according to your texture preference, moist or firm.
This dish can easily be doubled for a larger gathering.
