Add the eggs, almond milk, coconut milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and melted butter to a large mixing bowl.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Cut or tear the bread into bite-sized pieces.
Lightly spray the 9×13 casserole dish with oil. Add the cut bread to the casserole dish and pour the egg mixture over the bread.
Use a spatula to gently turn the bread, then lightly press the bread down to ensure all the pieces of bread soak in the batter.
Cover the baking dish and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 2-3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Once the oven is preheated, set the casserole dish on the middle rack, uncovered, and bake for 50 minutes.
Remove the casserole dish from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, and sprinkle with fresh berries and almond slices. Serve with maple syrup.

For best taste and texture, use stale, day-old bread.
Allow the casserole to sit for at least 2 hours before baking to allow the bread to fully absorb the batter.
Easily make this recipe dairy free by using ghee or vegan butter in place of the butter.
To test if it’s done and cooked through, gently check to make sure there’s no runny liquid in the very center of the casserole.
To store leftovers: Transfer the cooled french toast to an airtight bag or container, then seal. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, per USDA.
