Like a rock...French Toast

I had this demi baugette in the breadbox, unused, so I made French Toast with it this morning. I could barely get a knife through it, so I simply sliced it in 1/4ths and dipped that in batter, etc. A film of me trying to cut the thing would have been humerous to watch, but I didn't enjoy it.

The tip I have is that if you are making French Toast from VERY hard bread, not only soak it on both sides in the batter, but if you can, pour some of the batter into the bread's crevises while cooking the bottom.

I did that with the 2nd half of the loaf and THAT you could cut with a plain old dinner knife.

I love it when breakfast becomes an adventure! (sigh)

We had to get a kitchen knife to cut the first 2, sigh. Thank God I have a husband who approves of leftovers and food frugality. Otherwise, instead of being something where we laughed at ourselves, it could have been very BAD!
