french toast

Battered, fried bread

French toast is bread soaked in beaten egg and milk, then fried until golden.

A breakfast staple, often served with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit: We ordered french toast and bacon.

The dish appears on diner menus everywhere and makes good use of stale bread. (Capitalized French toast is the same dish, with standard capitalization of the adjective.)
