Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 small day-old baguette
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons herbes de Provence

Instruction

  • Slice the baguette on the diagonal into four thick slices.
  • In a shallow bowl or pan, combine the milk, eggs, salt, pepper and herbes.
  • Add the bread slices. Soak for about 5 minutes per side, depending on how stale the bread is. If your bread is fresher and softer, you will need to soak for less time.
  • While the bread is soaking on the second side, melt the butter in a frying pan until foaming but not browned.
  • Place the soaked bread in the frying pan and cook without moving it until the first side is golden brown.
  • Turn slices over and cook the second side until until golden brown.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve a spoonful of tomato jam on the side along with a simple green salad with a vinaigrette dressing.
