Honey is a natural sweetener; brown sugar is often cheaper.

In a bowl, mix 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon, 0.125 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to create the custard for the French toast.

In another bowl, combine 6 ounces each of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, and 1 pound of strawberries with 0.5 cup of real maple syrup and let sit to release juices.

Whip 1 cup of whipping cream until stiff peaks form, no sugar added.

For scrambled eggs, beat 12 eggs with approximately 0.5 cup of milk and set aside.

Split a package of Kings Hawaiian rolls horizontally and place in a 13 by 9 inch pan.

Spread mayo on each roll, layer with deli ham and deli cheese, and prepare a sauce with 0.5 cup melted butter, 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.

Drizzle the sauce over the sliders and cover with aluminum foil before baking in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10 minutes, then remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes.

Heat a non-stick skillet with a little butter over medium heat, dip slices of brioche style loaf into the egg mixture, and cook until golden brown, flipping to cook both sides.

Scramble the eggs in the non-stick pan, turning off the heat just before they are fully cooked to avoid dryness.

Serve the French toast topped with the berry maple syrup compote and whipped cream.
