Best Pan Perdu With White Truffle Recipes

PAIN PERDU

Steps:

• Stir together the milk and vanilla in a shallow dish. Soak the bread slices in the milk mixture for about 5 minutes, turning once so that they absorb the milk evenly.
• Beat the egg with the sugar and pour onto a plate.
• Heat the butter in a skillet until sizzling. Take the bread from the milk, holding it above the bowl to drain slightly. Dip into the egg mixture to coat both sides, then drop into the sizzling butter and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
• At the last minute, sprinkle the tops with a little extra sugar and "broil" with a blowtorch (or place them on a baking sheet under the broiler until the sugar, melts, bubbles and turns golden).
• Divide the bread among serving plates. Serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dribbling of fresh, ripe cherries and blackberries that have been sauteed in butter and sugar and possibly flamed.

PASTA WITH WHITE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan big enough to hold the cooked pasta easily, melt the butter.
• Stir in the cheese and cream. Add the cooked pasta, toss well and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Put into a serving dish and grate the truffle over the pasta or serve the truffle at the table allowing each guest to help himself. Serve additional cheese in a small bowl.

PAIN PERDU

Steps:

• Beat the eggs, add the cream, salt, cinnamon and vanilla. Submerge the bread slices in the egg mixture for 5 minutes. Lay both sides of the bread in the almonds to coat. Heat the butter in a heavy pan until the foam subsides, then add the slices of bread. Cook over low flame until delicate brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, garnish with sliced fruit and serve hot.;
