  2. Whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Pour the custard mixture over the sourdough bread cubes, pressing down gently to saturate every piece. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
  4. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes until golden brown on top.
  5. Prepare the berry compote by simmering mixed berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and water in a small saucepan for 8–10 minutes.
  6. Let the baked casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. Top with berry compote and optional toppings.
