STEP 2 – Meanwhile mix all ingredients except the bread in a large bowl.
STEP 3 – Once the butter has melted, take one piece of bread at a time and dip it into the milk, completely coating the bread (do not let it soak, it will get mushy.)
STEP 4 – Put bread into pan and let cook until underside is golden brown.
STEP 5 – Flip and cook the other side.
This should yield about 12 slices of toast. If you have extra egg mixture, pour it in the pan with your last piece of toast.
