Eggs And French Toast Breakfast Casserole

1/2 cup butter, melted
12 slices bread, cubed (the thick Texas toast style bread works well)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 eggs

In a microwaveable safe dish, melt the butter. Pour melted butter into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and pecans.
Whisk the milk, vanilla and eggs together.
Using half of the bread, layer the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle half of brown sugar mix over the bread. Using the remainder of the bread, make another layer and pour the egg mixture over this. Make sure all bread pieces are coated as evenly as possible.
Sprinkle the remainder of the brown sugar mix on top. Cover with tin foil and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake, remove foil and cover with a new piece.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
