Method
In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla until well combined.
Slice the bread in half and soak each piece in the egg mixture for about five minutes on each side, allowing them to absorb the flavours.
In a frying pan, heat a mix of butter and oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the soaked bread and fry until golden and slightly crisp on both sides, about three to four minutes per side.
On a plate, pour out some sugar. Once the bread is cooked, dip each piece into the sugar until fully coated, giving it a delightful, doughnut-like finish.
