4. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter.

6. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.

7. Place in skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

8. Remove from skillet and let cool slightly.

Notes

Use slightly stale bread for best texture and to prevent sogginess.

Do not over-soak the bread to keep it from falling apart.

Cook on medium heat to ensure the inside warms while the outside crisps.

You can substitute strawberries with blueberries or raspberries.
