Baguette French Toast

I've been working on thai recipes and cooking or preparing something everyday this week
I'll have posts up this weekend, once i get everything shot correctly

I broke from innovating this morning
and made myself a classic breakfast:

French Bread French Toast:

The ingredients are very simple:
Yield: 10 pieces
3 eggs
2 T Milk
1 t Vanilla
2 t Cinnamon
1 T butter
1/2 Loaf of French Baguette

1. Beat eggs, add milk and vanilla, pour mixture into dipping pan
2. Cut the baguette into 1 inch slices
3. Set slices in dipping pan, coating both sides, then sprinkle one side with cinnamon
4. Heat pan/skillet to Med-Hi, and coat the pan with 1/2 T of butter
5. Fry your slices cinnamon side up
6. Add 1/2 T butter slices to tops with...
syrup/fruit/cream/jelly/PB, whatever your favorite toppings are

My favorite things about using the french baguette instead of traditional sliced bread is their power to absorb a lot of egg without turning into a soggy pancake, because the crust is must stronger and the slices are thicker.
For that reason, I often soak my baguette slices for 10 mins, 5 on each side, before adding the cinnamon.
