Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk and vanilla until well combined.
Layer the Bread: Lay out single slices of the thickly sliced bread in the pan, forming a layer over the butter and sugar mixture.
Add the Egg Mixture: Gently spoon half of the egg mixture over the layer of bread, ensuring even coverage. Sprinkle a portion of cinnamon evenly over the layer of bread and eggs.
Repeat the Layers: Place a second layer of sliced bread over the existing layer in the pan. Spoon the remaining half of the egg mixture over the new layer of bread.
Chill Overnight: Cover the pan and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the flavors to meld.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). When baking, cover the pan for the first 30 minutes, then uncover for the remaining 15 minutes.
Serve: Once fully baked, take the pan out of the oven. Sprinkle powdered sugar and additional cinnamon over the top for added flavor and presentation. Serve with warm maple syrup.
