French Toast Casserole

I've made this recipe a few times before, and it's always been a hit. It's pretty rich, and not at all low calorie, so I don't make it often. But I thought it would be a nice change of pace for Father's Day. I adapted this from a Paula Deen recipe, so you know it's got to be good.

(again no photo. sorry!)

1 loaf French bread, sliced in 1 inch pieces
Butter
8 eggs
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

Place sliced bread in generously buttered 9x13 casserole dish, making sure to overlap slices. In a large bowl mix eggs, cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until blended. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 350. Bake casserole, uncovered, for 45 minutes until golden brown. Serve with warm maple syrup.
