The Austrian variation of French toast. Another example of hearty rural cuisine that makes use of stale bread... Powidl is the Austrian Zwetschgen stew which is made without sugar, just stewed zwetschgen / plums. In Europe, this is not considered a breakfast but a dessert. You can of course use plum jam. I posted this as a German recipe because JAP does not have Austrian recipes, but it is Austrian!!
