Cut Hala bread into 1 to 1.5 inch slices and leave out overnight on a baking sheet.

Mix 2 cups of heavy cream with 4 eggs to create a custard base.

Add 3/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla beans to the mixture.

Blend the mixture using a hand blender until cohesive.

Soak the bread slices in the custard for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Heat a griddle with neutral oil and butter.

Let excess custard drip off the bread before placing it on the griddle.

Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping frequently to ensure even browning.

Transfer cooked French toast to a baking sheet and place in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.

Plate the French toast, dust with powdered sugar, and top with maple syrup and mixed berries.
