It’s simple really – if you ‘need to feed’ get some eggs and some bread and combine, right? French Toast (for those from the right side of the tracks) or Gypsy Toast (if you fell between the lines) – but its the same thing in the end…
All you need to do is whisk some eggs (two per person) with a bit of pepper. I like to add a bit of creme fraiche if its available. Then soak some white bread (it has to be white because its absorbent properties are superior) in the egg mix.
Now get a big skillet and melt some olive oil and butter:
Simply fry those bad boy slices until golden:
How you eat this breakfast (and this truly will break your fast) is up to you. Try it straight up, or with honey. Or if you’re a real Philistine smother it in ketchup:
Stick a glass of orange juice in there to make yourself feel better.
Now I’m interested: what is your breakfast of choice (diets and conscience not included)?

First black pudding and now french toast! Your blog is making me fall in love with breakfast again!
Yes but at some point soon I will have to get back to the yoghurt diet!
Love French toast. We cover it with maple syrup.
I like to make it with brioche or challah. Egg bread covered in egg and fried in butter. So yummy!
Gypsy toast? Never heard that term before.
I love French toast with castor/icing sugar. Simple and sweet.
My fav breakfast? When I’m really hungry I love a good fry-up-fried eggs, grilled tomato, bacon, baked beans and lots of buttered toast!
Now that sounds great – maybe add a sausage or two
This is my favorite breakfast.. I said “Oh no!!” out loud when I saw the ketchup, lol! I know there’s a recipe out there that is make ahead.. but why would you when this is so easy!!
I know ketchup is one of those not-so-secret-guilty secrets!
French toast makes a great breakfast. Letting the bread soak overnight (if you’re that organized) makes a custardy texture. We like all tradtional breakfast items like fried eggs, bacon, etc. My favorite order when at a restaurant is biscuits & gravy. And it is OK to eat an egg every day – actually better than sugary cereals.
Biscuits and gravy – I was stunned when my workmate ordered that in Wichita – I couldnt believe what turned up – scones with white sauce all over it!
I would have to say French toast (agree w/you on the type of bread you need) but I do it with cinnamon & a touch of nutmeg. Now if one should happen to have bacon hanging around – there’s NOTHING like bacon!
A big plate of bacon and hash browns and eggs and cheese. And maybe a side of bacon.
Eggy bread with bacon is particularly special. Especially if you cook the bacon first then fry the bread in the same pan. It’ll make your arteries weep with delight.
waffles with a blueberry placed in each grid then smother with honey or maple syrup
with a couple of rashers of bacon too!
