French toast is great for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.
If you hate throwing out stale French or Italian bread (and don't we all!), turn to this recipe for using it instead.

Before attempting to cut stale, crusty bread, soften slightly by cutting the loaf in half and placing in the microwave with a small cup of water, and microwave for 30 seconds to slightly steam the bread.
