Soft, caramelized, glazed... In Paris, French toast is making a comeback. This economical recipe, born out of the need to avoid wasting stale bread, is now appearing on brunch menus, in bistros, and even in some pastry shops, where it is carefully prepared to become a dessert in its own right.
Classic bread is sometimes replaced by brioche perdue, which is softer, richer, and even more indulgent! Dipped in a mixture of eggs, milk, and sugar, then browned in a pan or oven, it becomes crispy on the outside and melt-in-the-mouth on the inside. A real treat for foodies!
Served warm, French toast is sometimes accompanied by fresh fruit, whipped cream, sorbet, salted butter caramel, or even custard for an even more generous version. But you can also find savory versions at some Parisian brunch spots!
Halfway between comfort food and sophisticated dessert, French toastand brioche perdue invite you to revisit your childhood ...but with an added touch of refinement. Here are some great places to try them!
