1 lb bread cut into 3/4 inch slices (about 16 slices), (French bread, sourdough, challah, white bread or Brioche)
butter for cooking
Optional Toppings: butter, maple syrup, fruit, whipped cream, powdered sugar
Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Pour into a large casserole dish.
In a large skillet, melt about 1-2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. While butter is melting, dip a few pieces (how ever many can fit in your skillet) in the milk mixture for 3 seconds per side. Place in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Keep warm in the oven on a cookie sheet at 250 degrees F. until ready to serve. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
