6 eggs
2 cups half and half (I use milk)
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 Tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
8 slices brioche, each 1 1/4 inch thick
Flavored butters for serving.

Directions:
Preheat waffle maker. Spray surface with nonstick cooking spray or brush with melted unsalted butter.
In bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add half-and-half (I use milk), vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar; whisk until blended.
Dip one slice of bread into egg mixture; soak, turning once, 30 seconds per side. Place bread on preheated waffle maker, close lid and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Keep warm while cooking remaining bread. Serve with flavored butter.
