  • 1 loaf unsliced bread
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk

  • Cut bread loaf into 1/2 slices
  • Combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and vanilla
  • Soak each piece of bread thoroughly in the egg mixture for 20 to 30 seconds while turning the slices several times in the egg mixture. For softer or fresher bread, soak less.
