Step 1

In a shallow bowl (a Pyrex baking dish works well for this), crack the eggs. Add the milk, vanilla, puree and cinnamon. Whisk together until combined.

Step 2

Dip the bread one at a time in the egg mixture. Thick-sliced whole wheat bread works best. Allow them to soak for 15-30 seconds per side in the mixture (If soaked too long, the bread will get soggy).

Step 3

Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter or oil. When it melts, swirl to lightly coat and place the soaked bread slices on the skillet.

Step 4

Cook both sides until golden brown, the egg is set and cooked (about 2 to 3 minutes per side).

Step 5

If you’re serving to kids, slice their pieces into strips. A pizza cutter works well for this! Serve with toppings of choice.
