Ingredients:
- 8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or Texas toast), cut into thirds
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole milk or half-and-half for richer flavor)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking

Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Bread:**

2. **Make the Batter:**
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
3. **Heat the Skillet:**
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt and coat the skillet.
4. **Dip and Cook the Bread:**
