- Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture and turn to coat it completely on both sides.
- Shake off excess egg from the bread, then place the bread in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until puffed and golden, adding extra butter if needed.
- Remove to a plate and cover to keep warm while you repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
- If you want sweet French toast, dust it with icing sugar. Add berries, other fruits, maple syrup or chocolate-hazelnut spread.
- If you want savoury French toast, serve it with bacon, eggs, beans, ketchup or Worcestershire sauce.
