In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and granulated sugar until well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated, but do not let the bread soak for too long to avoid sogginess.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the preheated skillet and let it melt. Swirl the pan to evenly distribute the butter.
Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the slices are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, and optionally garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
