In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add in the mascarpone and beat until combined. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and place in the fridge while making french toast.
Cut your brioche bread into 1 - 1 ¼ inch thick slices.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, clove, and salt. Set aside.
Heat a medium-sized non-stick pan on low-medium heat. Add butter and let melt. Once the butter is melted, turn up the heat a little and bring the butter to a sizzle.
Working with 2 slices of bread at a time, place a slice into the egg mixture and let soak for 2 minutes on each side. Shake off any excess mixture and then put on the heated pan. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
Repeat with all slices of bread.
Serve while warm. Top with strawberries, mascarpone whipped cream, pure maple syrup, and powdered sugar.
