Instructions

Make custard: Whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom in a shallow bowl to make the custard.
Slice buns: Slice Krachel buns lengthwise (or into 1-cm thick slices if using rolls).
Heat butter: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.
Dip and cook: Quickly dip each slice of bread into the custard, coating both sides but not soaking (about 1–2 seconds per side). Immediately place on the hot skillet.
Cook until golden: Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft and custardy on the inside.
Finish: Transfer to serving plates. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and dust with powdered sugar.
Serve: Serve immediately with a dollop of Greek yogurt or crème fraîche on the side.
