Lost and Found French Toast


Perhaps inspired by my brother's French Toast experiments, or simply because our bread in stock is getting old and dry, Rémi decided to relish the French Toast he used to have.

Unlike French fries, French toast do have French roots, except that they call it "pain perdu". Besides having a very sweet tooth, French love their bread, and they like only hard bread, usually handmade with love by their favourite artisan baker. But this type of bread becomes stale, dry and harder very quickly. So to save them, they dip it in milk and eggs and fry it to reclaim its goodness.

As this Frenchman has never made French Toast before, he has to google to find out what ingredients goes into a so called real French Toast. We found that other than eggs, it is common to add milk, sugar and even vanilla essence. We substituted part of the milk with yogurt because we do not have milk in stock.

And as if the fried toast is not sweet enough, we topped it with more sugar before putting it into our mouth.
