Custard Preparation: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, demerara sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Overnight Soak: Place the brioche slices in a deep dish, pour the custard over them, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
Cooking: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and cook the soaked slices until both sides are nicely browned.
Demerara Brûlée: Sprinkle additional demerara sugar on the warm slices and, using a kitchen torch, caramelize until a crackly, sweet crust forms.
Serve: Plate immediately and garnish with a dusting of cinnamon or a few fresh berries if desired.
