Pain Perdu / Lost Bread / French Toast

Pain Perdu (pronounced pan pare-due) literally means "lost bread", referring to this dishes' magical ability to rescue stale bread that would otherwise be lost. It's the original French Toast, and with a crisp buttery exterior and a soft custardy interior, Pain Perdu can certainly make for a sinful Sunday morning brunch.

I know you remember when your “mama and dem” made some pain perdu. And it didn’t matter one bit if it was prepared for brunch, lunch . . . breakfast, dinner, or supper . . . it was always sure to be a special treat. And whether you poured Steen’s, Aunt Jemima’s, or pure maple syrup . . . French Toast managed to make your taste buds sing and your belly extra happy. Below is my simple recipe to get you started making your group of loved ones smile big big. You can dress your lost bread up as I did in the video . . . or . . . just like pancakes, you actually have endless options you could use to add your own personal mojeaux to “da pain perdu party.”

Bread (your choice)

2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Get your eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and pinch of salt mixed up thoroughly. Use a shallow platter or tray to get your pieces of bread soaked in this egg mixture. Put your favorite pan on a medium high heat, add some butter, and get to work turning each soaked piece of bread in the hot butter until you get them all a pretty golden brown that’s palate pleasing to your eyes. Place the now pan fried bread in the hot oven for 5 to 10 minutes. This is the final step that will serve to help you achieve a nice crisp outside, and a fully cooked and delicious inside, especially if you like thick cut pieces of French Toast the way I do.

Now go ahead and have some fun flashing your personal mojeaux onto the finished pain perdu, and serve them up nice and pretty while still warm. I used syrup, candied pecans, and bananas. But, you can use powdered sugar, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples, chocolate, and/or any combination of these or other ingredients that your appetite craves. I guarantee that whatever your mojeaux inspires you to produce, you’ll be “da hero in da house dat day” by virtue of having served a warm platter of luscious Pain Perdu 😉
