In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs with the cinnamon and vanilla extract.

Dip each soaked slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.

Serve warm for a crispy bite, or refrigerate and enjoy cold for a softer, creamier texture.
💡 Chef's Tip
Day-old bread absorbs the custard without falling apart — fresh bread tends to get too soggy. For an extra indulgent version, swap the baguette for brioche and add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
