Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons brandy or 2 tablespoons Bourbon
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 slices French bread, cut about 1-inch thick on the diagonal
unsalted butter
vegetable oil
powdered sugar
sliced strawberry (other berries or orange or tangerine slices)
real maple syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°; butter the baking sheet.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs, milk, cream, whiskey, sugar, vanilla, and salt together.
  • Dunk the bread slices into the egg mixture and soak them for at least 10 minutes, turning if needed to coat evenly, until saturated but short of falling apart.
  • Warm 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil together on a griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Briefly cook the French toast in batches until golden brown and lightly crisp, turning once.
  • Put the first slices on the baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven.
  • Continue cooking the remaining slices, adding more butter and oil as needed.
  • When all the French toast is ready, dust with powdered sugar.
  • Serve immediately with berries and maple syrup, if desired.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The bread was a bit too soggy for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of rum, so I used vanilla extract instead. It still turned out great!

This pain perdu is the perfect way to use up leftover bread. It's also a great make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish.

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! I used a baguette that was a bit stale, which I think helped to give the bread a nice crispy crust.

This pain perdu was amazing! The bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The rum sauce was the perfect complement, adding a touch of sweetness and richness.
