  2. Preheat a griddle.
  3. Make the French Toast. Combine eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a large bowl or dish and mix well. Set bread in egg mixture, flip over and soak until bread is completely covered with egg mixture.
  4. Grease the griddle, then set the bread on griddle to cook. Cook until egg mixture is set, then flip and cook the other side until set and golden brown. Remove from griddle.
  5. Repeat with all bread slices until egg mixture is used up.
