French Toast

What is now commonly known as French Toast was traditionally a dish to use up stale bread. In fact, this dish tastes better with dry bread than with fresh one.

Ingredients (serves 2):

• 4 Slices stale bread
• 2 eggs
• A splash of milk
• A pinch of cinnamon
• Sugar for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. Beat the eggs with a splash of milk and add a pinch of cinnamon.
2. Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture one by one.
3. Heat some fat in a skillet and fry the "Poor Knights" until crispy.
4. Serve with a sprinkle of sugar.
