How to use stale hoagie (sub) rolls

Tweet

I had bought a bag of six hoagie rolls a while back to have on hand to make French dip sandwiches (roast beef sandwiches that are dipped in beef broth), but only ended up making one and using another roll for a regular deli meat sandwich. So I had three perfectly good, but stale, rolls left that I didn't want to throw away. I thought maybe bread pudding would be a good idea (and it is), but I didn't feel like going to the trouble. Today, I had a huge craving for French toast. I do like French toast, but I didn't want to use regular bread because it gets mushy. Then I remembered my rolls. I got them out and took the one half roll that was in the bag and sliced it into seven 3/4" slices, scrambled three eggs with milk in a large mug and submerged half the slices until they were coated thoroughly, then the other half of the slices while the first slices were sitting on a small plate. I prepared the frying pan with vegetable oil and, when it was hot, placed three slices in the pan. It was nice because they actually puffed as they fried. I had seven slices of butter already so when I placed the first three slices on my second plate, I could top them with a slice of butter. Finished frying the last four slices and then topped them with the rest of the butter and sugar-free syrup. (I don't use powdered sugar, but do like cinnamon.) Boy, I enjoyed that!!
