Your French bread will be perfectly delicious if you decide to just skip over the vanilla and continue making your French toast as-is.

Add a couple tablespoons of flour to the egg/milk/sugar/vanilla mixture that you dip the bread in. Just a touch of butter / oil on the skillet, hot, before adding the egg-dipped slices.

Can you make French toast with oil instead of butter?

A neutral oil, like canola, is the way to go since it won't disrupt the flavor of the butter.
