1 (10-inch) stale French baguette (a day or two old bread) cut into 1-inch slices
4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
2 bananas plus more for serving
3 large eggs lightly beaten to break up the yolks
1 to 1½ cups milk
¼ cup light brown sugar
½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter cut into thin slices
½ cup pecans optional, for serving
maple syrup optional, for serving

Prep. Grease a 6.5-quart (or larger) crock pot with cooking spray or butter.
Prepare the bread. Spread cream cheese on both sides of all bread slices, then arrange them in a single layer on the bottom of the crock pot.
Make the custard. In a large mixing bowl, mash 2 bananas; add the beaten eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg; whisk until well combined.
Combine. Pour the custard mixture over the bread slices and press the bread down into the liquid. The liquid should not cover the bread slices, but it should come up about three-quarters of the way up. If it's less than that, add more liquid. Set aside and let stand for 30 minutes, or up to 5 hours.
Cook. Scatter pats of butter over the casserole. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 3.5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours.
Garnish and serve. Remove the lid; garnish with fresh banana slices, chopped pecans, and maple syrup. Set the dial to "WARM" to keep it warm, or serve immediately.
