Ingredients
- 4 large eggs

- 8 to 10 slices bread, preferably stale or day-old bread
Instructions
- 1
Gather the ingredients.
- 2
Break 4 large eggs into a wide, shallow bowl or pie plate and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk.
- 3
Stir 1 cup milk (whole or 2%), 1 dash salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar (optional) into the beaten eggs.
- 4
Coat a skillet or griddle with 2 tablespoons butter. Place it over medium-low heat.
- 5
Place the bread slices, one at a time, into the bowl or plate. Let the bread soak up the egg mixture for a few seconds and then carefully turn to coat the other side. Coat only as many slices as you will be cooking at one time to prevent soggy French toast.
- 6
Transfer the egg-coated bread slices to the hot skillet or griddle. Heat slowly until the bottom is golden brown. Turn and brown the other side. Exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your bread, but it shouldn't take more than a few minutes per side.

Serve French toast hot with butter and syrup, or your preferred toppings. Enjoy.
