Almond milk is lower in calories; water is a budget-friendly option.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

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

Prepare the Challah or Brioche bread by slicing it into thick pieces.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk (or whole milk), sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to create a custard mixture.

Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.

Heat unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Place the coated bread slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side.

Flip the bread and cook the other side until golden brown.

Serve warm with 100% pure maple syrup and fresh strawberries or fruit.
