Step 2

Cut the baguette into 1-inch-thick slices (about 16). Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 3

Pour the milk mixture over the bread and soak for 5 minutes. Flip each slice and soak for a further 5 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed but the bread isn't falling apart.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl.

Step 5

Working one slice at a time, dip the soaked bread in the beaten egg to coat. Let the excess drip off, then place in the pan. Fry in batches for about 4 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and fry the second side for 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Step 6

Drizzle with honey and serve warm.
