Brush a baking tray with the butter. Choose one large enough to hold all eight slices without overlapping.<\/li>\n<li>Beat the eggs in a wide bowl. Mix in the milk, sugar, cinnamon and optional vanilla until combined.<\/li>\n<li>Dip each slice into the mixture, wetting both sides for a few seconds. The bread should absorb liquid and become moist without falling apart. Let excess mixture drip off and place on the tray.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for about 15 minutes, turn with a spatula and bake for another 10\u201315 minutes. Check that both sides are golden and the centres cooked. If using a thermometer, look for 75\u00b0C for 30 seconds. Thicker slices may need longer.<\/li>\n<li>Serve warm. Discard any raw milk-and-egg mixture remaining in the bowl; do not pour it over the cooked rabanada as a sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Choosing the bread<\/h2>\n<p>Firm sliced bread or a day-old rustic loaf works well. Brioche absorbs liquid and browns differently, so check it earlier to avoid burning. Do not use mouldy bread: the aim is to use dry bread that is still in good condition.<\/p>\n<h2>Storage<\/h2>\n<p>Keep covered in the fridge at 0\u20135\u00b0C and eat within 48 hours. Cool cooked food promptly and refrigerate within 2 hours, using shallow containers where needed. Mixing leftovers with new ingredients does not restart their storage time. Also follow any shorter use-by instructions on the packaging.<\/p>\n<p>Storage guidance: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/how-to-chill-freeze-and-defrost-food-safely\/how-to-chill-freeze-and-defrost-food-safely\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Food Standards Agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Can I soak it overnight?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This recipe is designed for dipping and baking straight away.
