In a medium sized bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and chopped pecans.
In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk and vanilla together.
Melt the butter and pour into the bottom of a 9X12 casserole dish.
Place the cubed bread in the casserole dish on top of the melted butter.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes making sure all are evenly covered.
Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top.
Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, remove the casserole dish from the refrigerator. Allow the casserole dish to come to room temperature before baking in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the bread is browned and the egg mixture has set.
Serve with warm syrup.
Notes
It's very important that you allow the casserole to come to room temperature before baking. Do not move your glass casserole dish from one temperature extreme to the other. Let it sit on the counter top for about 30 minutes.
You can cover the casserole lightly with aluminum foil if you notice the bread is getting too brown while baking.
