Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until well mixed.

- Slice the challah bread into 1-inch slices. Spread a thin layer of butter on each side (about 1/2 tablespoon per side).
- Dip each slice into the cinnamon sugar mixture and arrange them in a buttered 11×7 baking dish. Save some extra cinnamon sugar for later use.
