Lightly grease on oven safe 9x13 casserole dish.

Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave for 15 second intervals, until butter is melted.

Stir 1 cup brown sugar into the melted butter, mix well until fully combined. Pour brown sugar mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly to coat the bottom of the dish. Set dish aside.

In a bowl beat eggs. Once beaten, add in milk, vanilla, and a pinch of cinnamon. Set aside.

Combine remaining brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate small bowl. Set aside.

Arrange bread in a single layer over the butter/sugar mixture in the dish.

Pour half of the egg wash over bread. Top with half of the brown sugar/cinnamon.

Arrange remaining bread slices over the top. Pour over remaining egg wash and top with remaining brown sugar/cinnamon. Lightly press bread into the egg wash to ensure slices are evenly soaked.

Cover dish with tin foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to soak up the custard mixture, or overnight for best results.

When ready to bake, take the dish out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before baking (if it has been overnight) to remove the chill from the dish.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Bake covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for another 15 minutes.

Serve with butter and syrup. Enjoy!
