Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, thyme and black pepper in a deep bowl for 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth.
Lay the stale bread slices in the mixture for 30 seconds, turn them and let the other side soak for another 30 seconds.
Melt the butter in a wide pan over medium-low heat, and when the foam settles, lay in the bread slices.
Cook the breads for 4 minutes, until the first side turns golden, then turn and brown the other side for 4 minutes more.
Transfer to paper towels and drain the excess fat.
Place on a plate, sprinkle finely chopped parsley over the top and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Use stale bread sliced 2 cm thick; if it is too thin, it falls apart once dipped. Melt the butter over medium-low heat, since high heat burns it and hardens the egg-milk mixture before it browns.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Place the hot eggy bread on a plate and sprinkle parsley over it, then serve with tomato slices, white cheese and strong brewed tea.
