It is a staple food in France. Originally it is called pain perdu in French, which means 'lost bread', reflecting the use of stale bread.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Add in milk.
Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture. Make sure both sides soak up the egg mixture well.
Heat a frying pan on medium heat. Melt ½ tablespoon of butter in it.
Place the egg soaked bread slice into the pan and fry for about 2 minutes or until golden.
Turn it over and fry the other side until golden.
Transfer onto a plate and repeat the same steps for the remaining bread slices.
Serve immediately on its own or with crispy bacon, fried egg or poached egg on the side.

Notes

We use milk just to thin the mixture a bit. We find it easier to soak the bread. You can leave it out if you want.
If you want to make eggy bread sticks, cut the bread slices in strips before soaking them in the egg mixture.
If you think the bread slices turn brown too fast when cooking in the pan, turn the heat down.,
Don’t play with the bread slices much when cooking. Let them fry well and get a nice crust.
To keep the fried eggy bread slices warm while you are working with the other slices, place them on an oven-proof plate and keep it in a warm oven on the lowest setting (200 F / 90 C) while frying the rest of the slices.
Eggy bread is mostly served with savory companions like bacon and eggs. But if you want, you can serve it with maple syrup, honey or fruit jam just like you would serve French toast.
