• 3 large eggs
• 1 c. milk
• 2 tsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 rectangular loaf unsliced challah or other firm bread

1. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
2. Using a serrated knife, trim crust from bread; discard.
3. Cut loaf crosswise into 8 equal-size slices.
4. Pour half of egg mixture into a 13- by 9-inch baking dish.
5. Arrange bread slices in a single layer in dish; pour remaining egg mixture over bread slices.
