Eggy Bread (French Toast)

Eggy bread, or French toast, is so good that you forget how economical it is. The French don’t call this French toast. They call it pain perdu or ‘lost bread’, because it is a way to use up leftover bread you would otherwise lose — the only bread you’ve got on the baker’s day off. French toast is actually better if the bread is a little old, or sliced and dried out overnight, so perhaps for using up stale bread after Christmas.
