Instructions


3 Prepare the baking dish by spraying it generously with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. 
1 Cut the brioche bread slices diagonally to create triangle shapes.  Set Aside
2 Make the custard by whisking the eggs, then adding the brown sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and melted butter.  Whisk until fully combined and smooth. 
4 Dip each triangle slice of brioche into the custard mixture, making sure both sides are coated but not overly soaked.  Layer the dipped slices in the baking dish, slightly overlapping them until all bread has been used.  Pour 2 cups of the remaining custard on top.
5 Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight to allow the custard to fully absorb. 
6 When ready to bake, remove the casserole from the refrigerator with the oven preheated to 350°F.  Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar on top for a caramelized finish.    
7 Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
