I used to dredge bread though the batter before frying. I changed my tactics. Now I butter one side of the bread and place it face down in the skillet at medium heat. Then I basically egg wash (basting brush) the other side of the bread before flipping it. This is egg frugal.
2 eggs_ Splash of vanilla extract_ Splash of almond extract_ Blend with fork_ I prefer English muffin bread if I can get it.
Any suggestions how I can improve on this?
How many breads are you getting out of this? Even with regular soaking i usually get two slices out of an egg. Are you feeding multiple folks on two eggs?
