I make a savory (not sweet) French toast. My wife is
lactose-intolerant, so I dilute the egg with water, a half egg shell of
water and two eggs. I use sourdough whole wheat, cracked wheat, or
multigrain bread -- one large slice for each of us. I let the bread
soak in the egg as long as possible so that the egg penetrates to the
center of each thick slice. While the bread is soaking, I sauté some
finely minced onion in olive oil. As the onion begins to color, I place
the soaked bread on top, fry, turn, and fry some more. After turning, I
add some slices of cheese to mine and cover the frying pan long enough
for the cheese to melt.
