To make your own speculaas spice mix
Make the stollen French toast
In an oven dish mix 2 eggs with 1 c - 250 ml of milk, 1 t - 5 g of speculaas spices, 1 T - 15 g of sugar and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated. This usually takes 2 minutes or so of intensive whisking.
Soak the slices of stollen in the egg spice mixture, turning them over at least once and heat 1 T - 15 ml of oil or butter in a frying pan
Fry the French toast until golden and crisp. I find the best way to get some nice caramelized edges on them is sprinkling some additional sugar over them in the pan and turning them over at least twice so you get that extra sugar going on both sides.
Serve with red fruit and powdered sugar or whatever tickles your fancy.
