Cut the bread into thick slices.
Mix egg(s) and milk in a large, flat bowl. A pie plate works well.
Melt a little coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip bread in egg mixture and let sit for a few seconds. Flip the bread and let sit for a few more seconds. Avoid soaking too long; I think the resulting texture is better.
Transfer to the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown on both sides.
Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
