Fruity French Toast

I picked these pears back in the mid-autumn before they were fully ripe.  They lasted, wrapped in newspaper, until the last few were perfect for this:

A few nights later, there was no crying over the peeling of a not-quite-ripe mango as it sauteed in butter for a tropical version.  Apples, bananas, and of course blueberries and chocolate all make very fine substitutions.  As they say in Venezuela, buen provecho.

 Perfect french toast is accomplished with well beaten eggs, a steady, medium-hot skillet and a loaf of bread both rich and rather stale.  Brioche or challah is for the champions of FT.  Other fantastic options are white, wheat, raisin or beer bread.  Slice it thick and soak in the beaten egg before cooking.  Flip each piece once.  Golden brown is how I get down.
