Have ready 6 (6 ounce) custard cups or souffle dish.
In a medium size bowl, whisk eggs to blend yolks and whites.
Whisk in milk, sugar and vanilla until well blended.
Place 1 slice bread in bottom of ungreased custard cups.
Sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon chocolate chips.
Add 2 slices bread overlapping to fit and sprinkle with another 1/2 tablespoon of chips.
