kadesma said:Jules,
I use either day old thick sliced french bread or the thick french toast bread that is sold in most grocery stores..I don't measure much, I just crack eggs (1-per person) into a cake pan, add 1 tab. or so of sugar, 2 caps full of vanilla and some milk whisk it up, and that is it. I add more or less of each ingredient according to how many I need to feed. You can also add things like cinnamon, nutmeg to your egg batter.

Me too Katie I like tocut the bread fairly thick and let it soak up some of the batter before putting it on the griddle.Katie E said:I pretty much do the same thing, except I let the sliced bread sit out for a while to dry out a bit. Not too much. That way, when it's dipped in the egg mixture, it doesn't become soggy and will cook up nice when it hits my griddle.

Something quick...You might try this ...Buy a loaf of Sun-Maid Raisin Bread..or something simular...(Is their Cinnamon & Honey one too?) Let it set for a spell to stale. Then use your favorite batter mix....Ta daaaa! Pain Perdue!
Interesting to know this about frozen bread. I would like a recipe that doesn't get soggy on me. I've used a sorts of breads but they still come out soggy in the center. I get you don't thaw out the bread before cooking it on the griddle?I like to use frozen sliced bread to make french toast. It doesn't get soggy as often, but cooks perfectly.
