Sorry, here I go again.

Add a little milk to Egg-beaters and salt and pepper to taste. Soak Arab
bread in it for 5-10 minutes, fry until light brown and serve with
ketchup (and take cover from outraged maple syrup purists!)

---Authentic French Toast---

Decrust a whole loaf of bread (eggy brioche is best),
and slice into 2" X 2" cubes.
Soak in egg, milk, vanilla, and sugar mixture until fully soaked
through.
Drain each piece with slotted spoon, and DEEP FRY until dark golden
brown.
Serve topped with berry sauce, and powdered sugar.
Properly done, it should be crusty, becoming slightly creamy towards
the center.

I've had good luck using sourdough (or other French) bread,
and a simple egg/buttermilk/vanilla extract/ground cinnamon mixture.
You can however use milk instead of buttermilk.

It is best to sprinkle additional cinnamon on as it is grilling,
and that the cinnamon be freshly ground.
