French Toast

The secret to good French toast is using a good sourdough bread. Using an unsliced loaf is best, but any will work.

1 loaf day-old sourdough bread
2 eggs
1 cup, or more milk
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Cut bread on the diagonal, into 1" thick slices. Lightly beat eggs; add milk, sugar, and vanilla. Melt about 3 Tbs margarine or butter in a heavy skillet, over medium heat.

Dip bread slices into egg mixture, letting them soak up some liquid. Turn and soak the other side. (Don't let them sit too long, or they will become soggy)

Fry in margarine/butter, adding more as needed, until golden on both sides.

Can serve with syrup or jelly, but the best way I like them is simply sprinkled with sugar.
