Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients, except bread.

One slice at a time, coat the bread in the egg mixture then fit into a pan (9x9). Create a double layer. Gently press the bread with the back of a fork to compress the slices slightly. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing on the plastic to help break soak up egg mixture. Refrigerate overnight.

Preheat over to 400. Lightly butter a baking sheet. Using a wide spatula, lift the bread slice by slice out of soaking mixture allowing extra liquid to drip off and place on baking sheet. Baked until puffed and golden (12 - 15 min) turned slices over half way through.
