Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cube the bread into bite-sized cubes, about one inch in size. Aim for roughly 6 cups of cubed bread.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and layer half of the cubed bread.
- Sprinkle half of the mixed berries over the bread layer and then add remaining bread cubes and the rest of the berries.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Gently pour the custard mixture over the bread and berries and press down lightly to ensure even soaking.
- In a small bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle in melted butter and stir until resembling coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the prepared topping evenly over the surface of the casserole.
- Allow the casserole to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp. Check for doneness.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm with maple syrup or whipped cream.

Notes
Use stale bread for best results; customize with different berries for seasonal flavors.
