This recipe serves 2. If you want to make more, just double the recipe. If you go beyond that, you may want to mix in two batches as the taste can be off in bigger batches than for 4. A loaf of bread should serve 6-8 people easily. We had a ton left over, which my hubby has happily munched on all week.

In a shallow pie dish...

-
Cut bread into thick slices. Lay in egg mixture for 30 seconds on each side.
-
Melt butter and slowly warm frying pan on medium heat. Continue to drench bread slices in egg mixture while you wait for pan to heat.
-
Cook approximately 5 minutes on each side, but you'll want to slightly lift after a few minutes and check to see if the toast is browning. A light golden brown color is what you're going for. Ideally, the outside will be crispy and the inside ooey, gooey.
-
Place finished bread on plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
-
Top with syrup of your choice. We used maple.
-
Scatter chopped pecans over entire concoction.
