Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0 optional Maple syrup (for serving)

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 3
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not over-soaked.
Step 4
Repeat with additional slices of bread, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Step 5
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet. Place the coated bread slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining bread slices, adding additional butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 7
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
