Dip each slice of bread into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring it absorbs all the liquid.

A black frying pan on a hob with a small block of butter melting and steam rising from it. A wooden spoon is being used to move the block of butter.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter begins to foam, add the bread and fry each side until golden brown.Repeat the process with the second slice. Transfer to a plate and serve with crispy bacon or fruit compote of your choice.
