2. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter; heat until foamy. Meanwhile, dip bread slices, one at a time, into the egg mixture, turning to saturate. Carefully dip the slices into the chopped pistachios, coating them evenly on both sides. Transfer to the skillet in batches; do not crowd. Cook until lightly browned on each side, 1-2 minutes per side, adding more of the butter, if needed. Transfer to 1 or 2 buttered baking dishes large enough to hold the bread slices in a single layer.

3. Bake until the French toast is golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Arrange the French toast on plates. Spoon confectioners' sugar into fine-meshed strainer; tap and lightly dust the French toast. Serve hot with apricot jam or maple syrup.
