- 1 (13 oz) can evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon (optional)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
In a medium heavy pot, heat evaporated milk and sugar to a boil and then remove from heat. Then add the 2 cups milk, (optional: 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 tsp nutmeg). Mix egg yolks, lemon and vanilla. Then add the toasted bread, ripped into pieces.
French bread or regular bread can be used. 7-9 Slices can be used but the mixture must remain moist. You may have to experiment with the bread but do not overcook.
