Savory French Toast

Here's a nice little appetizer or a side, borrowed from Laura Calder, host of "French Cooking at Home" on the Cooking Channel.

Day old bread is best. Slice a baguette (2 slices per serving) and soak the slices briefly in milk to soften. Slightly beat 2 eggs, add Herbes de Provence, and a bit of S&P. Dip the bread in the eggs and fry in a buttered pan, til golden brown on both sides.

Ketchup is too sweet and runny. I didn't have any tomato jam, so I substituted Trader Joe's fire roasted salsa. Perfect little bites!
