2 eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

8 slices sandwich bread, each cut into 4 sticks

3 tablespoons butter, or as needed

In a pie plate or baking dish whisk together eggs, milk, salt, vanilla and cinnamon. Dip bread into mixture a few at a time, turning to make sure both sides of bread are well-coated.
