My mom use to mix eggs and milk and added a little salt and pepper.
Dipped the stale bread into the beaten mixture and fried in a little
melted margarine. We would use syrup, jam/jelly, honey, or peanut butter
on it.

I mix the milk and bread with dash pepper (no salt), cinnamon and a
little vanilla and I brown in small amount melted butter. I like it with
either maple syrup, or jam (especially if is homemade). I don't care for
powdered sugar on it, but that's the way the restaurants here do it, and
always tell them to leave it off.
