FRENCH CUSTARD TOAST ( PAIN PERDU)
This is fabulous for a brunch or special breakfast.Pain Perdu, literally "lost bread", is an ingenious way to transform day-old bread into heavenly French toast, fried until crispy on the outside but still creamy in the center.Serve with fresh berries or a fruit salad on the side if you wish. Prep time does not include the time for soaking the bread slices. This can be made the night before you wish to serve it.
