Steps:
- Grease a 9×13 inch or any 3-4 quart oven-safe dish with nonstick spray. Slice then cut the bread into cubes, about 1 inch in size. Spread half of the cubes into the prepared baking pan.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the room temperature cream cheese on medium-high speed until completely smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined. Drop random spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture on top of the bread. Layer the remaining bread cubes on top of cream cheese. (I like to make sure some cream cheese is still exposed on top just for looks.) Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, and remaining vanilla together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours and up to 24 hours. Overnight is best.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Remove pan from the refrigerator.
- Whisk the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold cubed butter with a pastry blender or two forks. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the soaked bread.
- Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown on top. I usually bake it for 45 minutes because I like it softer. Drizzle with optional maple syrup or dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.
- Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Tips:
- Use a good quality bread for the casserole. A sturdy bread like French bread or sourdough will hold up well to the custard and fruit.
- If you don't have time to make the custard the night before, you can make it in the morning and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the bread.
- Don't over-mix the casserole. Just gently stir the bread cubes, custard, and fruit until they are combined.
- Bake the casserole uncovered for the first 30 minutes, then cover it with foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes. This will help to prevent the top of the casserole from getting too brown.
- Let the casserole cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Stuffed French Toast Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time. With its creamy custard, sweet fruit, and fluffy bread, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
