This is what the Lady of The Lake served to King Arthur for breakfast at Camelot.
4 slices bread (thick slices)
2 eggs, beaten
6 1/2 fluid ounces white wine or red wine
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/4 tablespoons sugar
oil (for frying)
confectioners' sugar (to serve)
cinnamon (to serve)
4 servings
Cut off the bread crusts and cut into quarters.
Be careful not to cut off your hand.
Place the bread in a deep dish.
Mix eggs with wine, cinnamon, and sugar in a bowl.
Pour the mixture over the bread and leave to soak for 3 minutes.
Heat the oil[¼ inch deep].
Drain the bread and slide it into the hot oil{Watch your hands as it spits}.
It would definitely be to your advantage to wear a gauntlet whilst performing this procedure.
Fry until golden brown on both sides.
Drain on medieval kitchen paper.
Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and ground cinnamon.
Feed the hungry.

This sort of sounds like fried bread pudding! YUMMY. I need to try this. I do have some wine in the fridge.
