How do you make eggy bread?

[Tallulah.]

I have attempted many times to cook it. It seems to always be soggy on the inside and burn on the outside, even when i reduce the heat right dowwn when i fry it. Can someone tell me what im doing wrong? Thanks

it seems to me that you have been soaking the bread for to long. Dip the bread in the egg mix just before putting it into a hot pan.

I'd agree with Tunacheeks... (what a name lol) - don't soak the bread in the egg mixture, just dip it in and turn it over.. then drop into a hot frying pan with a little oil already heated ....

To make my eggy bread (aka French Toast), I beat up a couple of free range eggs, sieve them into a shallow bowl, add a few shakes of black pepper and then dip freshly sliced bread triangles into the egg mix, turn them over quickly, then slide these into hot olive oil in a large frying pan. Let them sit there for a minute or so, then turn them over with a wooden spatula and cook on the other side until golden brown. Turn again if need be to brown both sides and serve with dark soya sauce. Loverly jubberly...

LOL @ juggerling, I make mine exactly the same way and for some reason the bread has to be cut into triangles, don't ask me why but it just tastes better!

I used to make this when my son was a little lad, but minus pepper and olive oil. Served crispy with a dollop of orange jelly marmalade on top!

I always cook mine in butter.
