Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
While oven is preheating in a large bowl mix eggs, buttermilk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well incorporated then set to the side.
Grease 9x9 glass pan with cooking spray, then layer the stale french bread slices in three layers, overlapping bread.

Divide the casserole into four large squares; serve with warm syrup and fresh berries if desired.
