Toast each bread slice light/medium. Tear toasted bread into pieces. Arrange in 9"x9" pan.

Mix egg yolks, vanilla, sugar, milk and butter together until smooth. Pour over bread pieces. Mix together. Place in preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, beat together 3 egg whites, 1 drop vanilla, 1/4 cup sugar in a glass bowl. Have beaters pre-chilled. Beat until egg whites form stiff peaks.
