Ingredients for Pain Perdu

Method

Instructions for Preparing Pain Perdu

  1. 1

    Macarating Blueberries

    In a bowl, combine the blueberries and sugar. Mix gently and let them sit for about 15 minutes to macerate.

  2. 2

    Preparing the Custard Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. 3

    Soaking the Brioche

    Dip each slice of brioche in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side, ensuring it's well coated.

  4. 4

    Cooking the French Toast

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the soaked brioche slices and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and brioche slices.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Serve the French toast warm, topped with macerated blueberries, chopped walnuts, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a dollop of whipped cream.
