2.Put the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, syrup, spices and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk to completely combine.

3.Using a serrated knife, slice the challah bread into strips that fit the length of the baking pan. Tightly fit half of the bread strips into the bottom of the pan and cover with half of the egg mixture. Sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar.

4.Repeat with the remaining bread, laying the strips in the opposite direction of the first layer. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the top and dot with remaining brown sugar. Cover tightly with foil and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
