Step 1

In a wide dish, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and spices until fully combined.

Step 2

Dip each slice for 10–15 seconds per side. You want it saturated but not falling apart.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium with a bit of butter. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and the center "puffs" slightly.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl it constantly. It will foam up, then you’ll see little brown bits form at the bottom. Once it smells like toasted nuts, remove from heat immediately and pour into a bowl.

Step 5

Let the browned butter solidify in the fridge until it is firm but still soft enough to dent with your finger (about 30–45 mins).

Step 6

Using a hand mixer or a sturdy fork, whip the chilled browned butter with the sugar until it is light, airy, and pale.
