List of Ingredients




1 loaf tired French bread
4 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
4 cups heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Grated peel of 2 lemons

Recipe



1) Slice bread 1½" thick, and dry in warm oven without browning. Lay slices in a single layer in a glass dish with sides.

2) Combine custard ingredients. Whisk well and pour over the bread. After 15-20 minutes, turn the slices. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

3) Heat butter or oil in a large, non-stick skillet. Cook slices slowly on both sides until golden and the custard is cooked.

The Pain Perdu may be topped with seasonal fruit such as mixed berries.
