6 eggs slightly beaten
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar

8 slices bread thick-cut, 2 to 3 days old
Maple-flavored syrup, powdered sugar or tart jelly
You'll Need:

In a shallow bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt and sugar with a wire whisk. Place the oil, about one tablespoon, in the skillet and heat over medium heat. (You may have to add more oil as you go along.) Dip the bread into the milk and egg mixture one slice at a time. Place each dipped slice into the hot oil in the frying pan. Do not overlap or crowd the pieces. Fry for 2 or 3 minutes (until golden brown) and then turn the slices over with the spatula and continue frying until the second side is golden brown. Put the browned slices on an ovenproof plate and place in a 200° oven to keep hot. Continue dipping and frying the remaining slices of bread. Serve hot with maple-flavored syrup, powdered sugar or tart jelly.
