New-Fashioned French Toast

Your family will love piping hot French toast for breakfast. And French toast is a great way to use up day-old bread. Unlike fresh bread, the day-old variety won’t soak up too much of the egg-and-milk mixture and produces just-right, crisp, golden slices.

Ingredients:

• 3 large organic eggs
• 1 cup organic whole milk
• 1 tsp. organic sugar
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 12 slices of Rudi’s Organic Bakery® Country French Bread
• 3 Tbsp. organic unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup confectioners (powdered) sugar for dusting

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and salt until blended.
3. Pour into a large baking pan and soak bread slices in 1 layer, turning once to coat both sides.
4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet or griddle over moderately high heat.
5. Transfer 4 soaked bread slices to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.
6. Cook remaining bread in 2 batches, adding more butter as needed. Transfer slices to a large shallow baking pan.
7. After all slices are browned and arranged in baking pan, bake on a center oven-rack until hot, about 5 minutes.
8. Sprinkle with confectioners (powdered) sugar, if desired.

Servings: A dozen slices of delicious French toast!
