Step 1

In a large, shallow bowl, use a fork or whisk to combine milk, eggs, and cinnamon and vanilla (if using).

Step 2

Place the bread slices one (or two, depending on the size of your bowl) at a time into the egg mixture, letting the mixture soak for a few seconds. Flip the bread to soak the other side. If required, slowly add 2 tablespoons more milk to the mixture if it looks like you won't have enough for 8 slices.

Step 3

Spray a large skillet or griddle with cooking oil, or add a small amount of butter or coconut oil into the pan. Heat the pan on medium heat.

Step 4

Add the soaked slices of bread to the pan, then cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, until slightly golden.

Step 5

Add toppings of choice and enjoy!
