Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the cubed brioche bread evenly in the prepared dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, honey, dried lavender, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are moistened. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bread to soak.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the chopped pecans. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the French toast casserole.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and puffed, and the topping is crisp. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent the dish with aluminum foil.

Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, with additional honey or maple syrup if desired.
