Thick slices of brioche-style bread soak up a rich cinnamon-spiced custard until every bite is soft in the middle with just enough structure to hold together, then griddle up deep golden brown with crisp, caramelized edges. Warm brown sugar, vanilla, and a double hit of cinnamon and nutmeg give this the same cozy, bakery-style flavor you want from a cinnamon roll, minus any of the yeasted fuss. A sweet powdered sugar glaze gets poured on right before serving so it pools into every crevice and sets up slightly glossy on top. It's an easy weekend breakfast that comes together in one skillet, no proofing or rolling required. Since eggs, spices, and simple pantry staples do the heavy lifting here, this one is a genuinely solid pick for a lactose free morning table. Serve it stacked high with extra glaze on the side for anyone who wants to go all in.

In a large shallow baking dish, whisk together the eggs, 3/4 cup dairy free milk, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
Lay the bread slices in the custard in a single layer and let them soak for 2–3 minutes per side, until the custard is absorbed but the slices are not falling apart.
