- 6 slices sturdy white bread, brioche, or challah Stale bread works best.

Cooking
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not mushy.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it is hot enough.
- Cook the soaked bread slices in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent over-browning.

Notes
If you have leftover batter, consider making a mini frittata. Avoid using too fresh bread and do not overcrowd the skillet while cooking.
