Directions:
1. Melt the butter, add in brown sugar and spices. If adding nuts, include them here too. stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour into a 9X13 baking dish. Spread it around to coat the entire bottom of the dish.

2. Arrange a single layer of the bread in the baking dish, covering the bottom of the dish.

3. Wisk together the eggs, half and half, and vanilla. Pour over the bread. The mixture should almost cover the bread. if you need more liquid, wisk additional milk and egg together and pour over.

4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

5. Pre-heat oven to 350º remove the dish from the refrigerator and bring to room temp.

6. Bake uncovered 35-40 min until puffed and lightly browned.
