Notes
Nutmeg and cinnamon is optional, but they do add definite depth to the flavor!Brioche is definitely my go-to bread for this as it is nice and thick (and sweet!) - but Texas toast would work too - or any thicker sliced bread!A stale bread works best too.Serve with fresh fruit, syrup, butter and powdered sugar.
