Sorry to burst your bubble (of culinary knowledge) the main ingredient - after the bread, that is, is EGGS (as many as 3-4.) Sometimes it has milk or a bit of half & half or cream added, whisk together in dish suitable for placing a slice of bread without cramping.

Then the day old bread is dropped in a low, flat dish, turned from one side to the other quickly enough not to soak up too much liquid, then placed in a hot skillet (with either butter or oil heated in it) and fried to golden brown on first one side then the other.

I usually add a bit of cinnamon and occasionally a teaspoon of sugar in the egg/milk mixture, especially if I'm serving the "French Toast" as other than breakfast, and dust with powdered sugar.

Thanks for the recipe. The French would certainly appreciate it!
