- 1 loaf French bread cut into ~ 1½ inch - 2 inch wide pieces
- 2 cups milk
- 7 oz sweetened condensed milk ½ of a 14 oz can
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
In a medium bowl, mix the milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until combined. In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with a tsp of cinnamon. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and tbsp of cinnamon.
Pour about 1 inch worth of vegetable oil into a cast iron over medium heat.
Push a slice of bread into the milk mixture so it's completed submerged for about 10 seconds. Gently lift and place in the egg bowl, rotating so all sides are coated. Immediately place into the frying pan.
Once the pan has 3 - 4 slices, fry until brown peeking to make sure they don't brown too much, about 3 minutes. Once brown, flip and brown the other side. Once done, remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Dip and fry remaining pieces.
After they cool for a few minutes, dip them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, rotating so all sides get coated. Serve immediately.
