Directions

1. In a shallow, flat-bottomed container big enough for one bread slice, mix all the ingredients except the bread and butter.
   
2. Over medium-low flame, heat some butter in a skillet or on a griddle.
   
3. One at a time, dip both sides of the bread in the egg mixture. Place on skillet or griddle.
   
4. In batches, cook until golden brown, turning once. Transfer to the warmed platter in the oven. Repeat until all are cooked.
