Prepare the Batter

Whisk Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, crack 4 eggs and beat them lightly. Add 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 2 tbs of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Prepare the Bread

Soak the Bread
Take 6 slices of thick sliced bread and dip each slice into the egg mixture. Allow each slice to soak for about 10-15 seconds per side, ensuring they are well coated but not overly soggy.
