My savoury French toast

Method
Prep:5min  ›  Cook:15min  ›  Ready in:20min 

1. Crack the eggs in a dish large enough to lay the bread in flat.
2. Add the milk and salt and pepper, if using, and mix well until fully blended.
3. Turn on your hob and heat some of the oil gently in a frying pan or griddle pan until hot. I find a griddle pan easier as the bread does not stick as much.
4. Meanwhile, pile up the slices of bread in the egg mixture and soak them until all the egg is gone.
5. Now the pan is hot, place the bottom piece of bread onto the pan. Continually move it around so that it doesn't stick. If the pan is smoking, it's either too hot or there isn't enough oil.
6. Continue to cook until each side is slightly brown. The less you cook the bread the more eggy it will taste.

Tip

You can have this instead of fatty fried bread in your fry up, but be careful as it is very filling!!

Tip

You can also add crispy bacon and maple syrup if you want to make it an American treat.
