These days, we think of French toast as just another way to have eggs in the morning. But to our ancestors, soaking bread in egg was a way to extend the life of a bread loaf longer. Try this sometimes. Take some old bread that is so hard you can no longer eat it but can still be sliced. Soak the slices in egg and fry them. The resulting bread will be soft and totally edible!

Finally, someone who understands french toast.
The only sweet we would use (and only on occasion) was grape jam. I grew up thinking that salt was the only thing one would use with french toast.
Ironically, grape jam was also used on potato pancakes, again occasionally.
I’m Czech and Bohemian, so Slovak cooking is different. But I’m seeing how geography played an important role in our lives.

When you turn bread on the other side, put some grated cheese on the top and watch how it melts… and serve with ketchup )
