Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
¾ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or extract

unsalted butter, or ghee, for greasing
softened butter
pure maple syrup, warmed
