Yield Makes 8 three-inch rounds

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound day-old brioche loaf
Unsalted butter, for pan
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped
1/4 cup hazelnut liqueur, such as Frangelico
4 large whole eggs
4 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trim side and bottom crusts from brioche, leaving top crust intact. Slice brioche 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; lay bread pieces in pan so that they overlap slightly, with top crusts visible.
  • Make custard: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk milk, cream, sugar, vanilla scrapings, and liqueur. Cook until hot but not simmering.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and yolks. Whisking constantly, pour 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into eggs; slowly add remaining milk mixture.
  • Pour custard over bread, making sure to soak completely. Bake until firm to the touch, about 1 hour; if needed, press bread with a spatula to keep it moist.
  • Remove from oven. Let cool slightly before cutting into rounds with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Serve warm.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit. The pain perdu is light and fluffy, with a crispy exterior. The cinnamon-sugar topping is the perfect finishing touch. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves French toast.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would add some spices to the egg mixture next time.

This recipe was a little too eggy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less eggs next time.

I've tried many pain perdu recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The bread is perfectly soaked in the egg mixture, and the butter and sugar topping is divine. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves French toast.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the topping next time.
