Thick slices of stale bread soaked in eggy custard and fried golden, dusted with cinnamon sugar — the Dutch answer to French toast.

Ingredients

1 Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow dish.
2 Soak bread slices in the mixture for 30 seconds per side — they should absorb but not fall apart.
3 Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
4 Fry soaked bread slices 2-3 min per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
5 Dust with cinnamon sugar and serve with stroop or syrup.
