In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully combined and the sugar is dissolved. Pour the custard evenly over the bread cubes, pressing the bread down gently so every piece is submerged. Let the bread soak for 30 minutes at room temperature, pressing down once or twice, until the cubes have absorbed most of the custard.
