... or French Toast as some people call it! This is a popular breakfast in our house as it doesn't take too long to cook, particularly if you cook about four at a time.

Cut the crusts off about 10 slices of bread (preferably wholemeal)
Beat the eggs
Season the eggs with a little pepper
Pour the beaten egg into a shallow dish
Lay four slices of the bread in the eggs side by side to absorb the mixture
After a few minutes, turn the bread over
Meanwhile, melt a knob of butter in a large frying pan
When the butter is melted, fry the four slices of bread (depending on the size of the pan) until golden brown on both sides
Serve and enjoy hot
Melt another small knob of butter and cook the next batch
The kids can do nearly everything here. They love cutting the crusts off the bread, cracking the eggs into the bowl and then beating the eggs. They can even break up the crusts and help throw them outside for the birds.
This might seem strange but make sure you ventilate the kitchen while you're cooking these as they really make your clothing smell of eggy bread (It's a nice reminder of breakfast that lasts all day!!)
Variations
Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall suggests serving his honey-baked rhubarb recipe with french toast. We haven't tried it yet as the kids keep eating the baked rhubarb before we get a chance to try it with the eggy bread.
