Like I explained in a previous post, the "lost" comes from being lost to waste because the bread is a bit stale, so to answer your question, they cook it very easily, very easily indeed, they just dip it in the mixture and then fry on both sides
It's because they cook it when it goes stale, hence the bread was lost, but has been reclaimed. Best get in before GarngadPape does
So it's never been literally "Lost"? That sounds a bit stupid even for the French and could lead to all sorts of confusion around the Breakfat table. "What eez for le Peti Dejeuner Mama?" Asks wee Pierre, only to be told by Mama, "Lost Bread". Does not sound at all appetising nor a substantial meal for an urchin about to go on his onion delivery round before le school.
The ****s are mental. I went to my sisters in-laws house a few years ago and leftovers is a meal! The weeks leftovers are eaten. No wonder the ****s stink
What's wrong with leftovers? Most french food is pish, it's just the ingredients that are good. I miss eating baguettes every day
We're ignoring the elephant in the room here fellas. French toast mixture, is it, egg + milk, or, egg + water I was taught egg + milk (table spoon of milk per egg) but have been converted to egg + water (again, tablespoon per egg). This is going to get the beel going.
wtf? What kind of shanty town were you brought up in? Eggs and water? Away wi ye, it's only even been milk because we could afford the luxury of it.
Neither. Eggs, salt and pepper. Done. I haven't been involved in this but my favourite omelette is a cheeky feta and peas number.
You are a bit late to the party so let's stick to the topic at hand, namely French Toast, if you don't mind.
It was fuddy's fault. She makes it with water. One night we had a french toast challenge. I made it with milk, she made it with water. Hers was better. This is just one example of the excitingly sexually charged life we lead.
I take it she was in a home or something, a workhouse maybe? I suppose water and egg in mouldy bread makes a change from gruel.
She also makes scrambled egg with water. It really does seem to make the cooked eggs creamier and fluffier which is the opposite of what you would expect. I am unaware, at this time, of her stance on omelettes.
