Butter: 2-3 sps

Make these soft Egg dipped breads as follows

I have used Fruit bread which is slightly sweet, you can use Milk bread or even brown breads are fine

Usually per egg 3 breads can be dipped, so adjust the sugar accordingly 
(For 3 eggs 4 sps sugar will be enough if yOu like more sweet you can add 5sps)

Whisk the eggs slightly, add sugar & stir till sugar is dissolved completely 
Then slowly add milk little by little & mix

Take a Pan & heat it add butter , then dip the bread in egg mix & turn and dip the other side also
Remove &  place it on the buttered pan repeat for other 3 slices(depending on the pan)
Fry on medium heat for 2-3 min each side till its cooked remove

Then again dip the Breads & Fry rest of the breads in 3-4 pieces per batch

Lovely French toast is ready enjoy this delicious Continental breakfast

Note: Dip the Breads as and when the pan is empty, dont dip it before as it will be soaking more and becomes soggy
