Directions

  1. ADD eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, grated ginger, kosher salt, and vanilla extract to a large shallow bowl. WHISK vigorously until combined.​
  2. HEAT a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, ADD 1 Tbsp butter, and COOK until melted. SWIRL to coat the bottom of the pan. ​
  3. In the meantime, DIP each slice of bread into the custard mixture. SOAK each side of the slice for 15-20 seconds or until mostly saturated. TRANSFER to skillet, working with 2 or 3 slices at a time depending on how large your skillet is, and COOK 3-4 minutes on each side or until nicely browned. REPEAT with remaining bread slices and custard, adding additional butter between each batch.
  4. SERVE with a pat of butter and maple syrup.
