Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and chopped pecans. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread and pecans. Gently fold to ensure all the bread cubes are soaked.
Drizzle the maple syrup or corn syrup over the top and gently mix.
Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes, so the bread absorbs the liquid.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or ice cream.
