ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk (cream or half and half if you’re feeling decadent, but milk is fine)
• 6 slices (1 inch thick) bread, preferably day old
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 tsp vegetable oil

instructions

1. Whisk together eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
   –
2. Place bread in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold bread slices in a single layer. Pour egg mixture over bread; soak ten minutes. Turn slices over and soak about 10 minutes more (until soaked through).
   –
3. Heat 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry half the bread slices till golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to wire rack (can keep in a warm oven). Wipe skillet and repeat with remaining slices.
