French Toast With Ground Cloves

I made french toast. I put scrambled egg sprinkles, cinnamon, and syrup on top. The look was almost like whipped cream. Upon trying my food, my french toast tasted too eggy to my liking. I added more syrup to help the flavor some, but to no avail. It still seemed like something was lacking. I went to one of my spice cupboards. "Hmm," I thought. I put some ground cloves on top of my remaining french toast slice, and sampled a bite. I thought it tasted perfect. A few bites later though, the cloves began to wear on me. My french toast began to taste too sweet, almost like candy, like red hots. I don't think I will try cloves on my french toast any time in the near future.
