Arrange bread slices in the dish, slightly overlapping.
Make the Custard
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the mixture evenly over the bread, pressing lightly so it soaks in.

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for 15-20 more minutes until golden brown.
