Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 thick slices of bread (like Texas Toast)

- Place the crushed cereal into a separate shallow dish.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Press each side of the soaked bread into the crushed cereal, coating it thoroughly.
