I've never heard of French toast NOT being soaked...isn't that the norm? In my family, it's called pan-pan du, which is Cajun for pain perdu, which is French for lost bread. We always soak stale bread in egg-milk-vanilla-cinnamon mixture, and then cook it in the skillet.
Since I make my own bread, I often have some that goes stale before I can eat it. It goes stale in about two days. I just keep a supply of stale bread in the freezer for my pan-pan du.
Oh, and if you add a splash of whiskey, it's really wonderful.
