So I keep them warm in the oven until they are all cooked and I'm ready to serve them. Keep them warm in the oven. I can get about 2 -3 slices of bread on my skillet, depending on the size of your skillet you will have to cook these in batches.Always check stale bread. Always check for mould, if you see any mould at all do not use it!.Cook the eggy bread in butter to get the gorgeous golden brown colour! I always use real butter, the salted Irish kind!

Why This Recipe Works Sweet or American style french toast is a fairly new addition to our weekend breakfasts.
