Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
3 tablespoons orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier), divided
6 extra-large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk or half-and-half
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 large brioche loaf or challah
Unsalted butter
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup (1 1/2 ounces) sliced blanched almonds, toasted
Confectioners' sugar, to serve

Steps:

  • Combine the sliced strawberries, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the orange liqueur in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, honey, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons orange liqueur, the vanilla, orange zest, and salt. Slice the bread in 3/4-inch slices. Pour the egg mixture into a large shallow plate and soak a few slices of bread for 4 minutes, turning once.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a very large saute pan over medium heat. Take each slice of bread from the egg mixture, dip one side in the toasted almonds, and place in the saute pan, almond side down. (While you're cooking each batch, add more bread to the egg mixture to soak.) Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned. Place the cooked bread on a baking sheet and keep it warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel, add more butter and oil, and continue to fry the remaining soaked bread until they're all cooked. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve hot with the strawberries.

Categories     main-dish

Time 12h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Four 3-inch-thick slices country bread
4 cups heavy cream
1 cup vanilla sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup brandy
2 teaspoons kosher salt
9 eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
All-purpose flour, for sprinkling
Powdered sugar, for serving
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the bread in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk together the cream, vanilla sugar, brandy, salt and eggs (or use a blender). Pour over the bread. Let it sit for a few minutes, and then turn the bread over to ensure proper absorption. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. Sprinkle some flour and some vanilla sugar on top of the bread slices. When the foam from the butter subsides, put the soaked bread in the pan and cook on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip the bread and place the pan in the oven until cooked through and custardy in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

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.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/fan. Cut baguette into bite-sized pieces and mix in large bowl with warm milk and melted butter.
  • In another bowl, mix eggs with sugar, rum and vanilla extract. Add to bread mixture.
  • Peel and cut apples and add to bread mixture.
  • Pour mixture into cake tin and bake for 40-45 mins.
  • You can also put the dough into small soufflé tins, in which case reduce baking time to 30 mins.
  • Serve while still warm!
  • Tastes great with homemade vanilla sauce.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for the best results. Stale bread will absorb the egg mixture more evenly and result in a more evenly cooked dish.
  • Use a variety of breads to create different flavors and textures. Challah, brioche, and French bread are all good options.
  • Add your favorite spices or flavorings to the egg mixture. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are all popular choices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pain perdu. This will prevent the slices from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the pain perdu immediately with your favorite toppings. Fresh fruit, whipped cream, and maple syrup are all great options.

Conclusion:

Pain perdu is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your friends and family. So next time you have some stale bread on hand, don't throw it away! Make pain perdu instead.
