Pain Perdu
INGREDIENTS:
8 slices day-old french crusty bread sliced 1" thick
2 eggs, lightly beaten
dash salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 to 3 drops vanilla extract
8 tablespoons melted butter
honey or syrup
PREPARATION:
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with salt, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Pour into flat bottomed glass dish. Put bread slices into the dish to soak, a few at a time.
Turn with a spatula and allow to soak on the other side, but not too long, or they will be difficult to turn. Lightly butter a baking sheet; gently remove the soaked bread slices to the baking sheet, and continue with the remaining bread slices. Spoon any remaining egg mixture over the slices.
Place the baking sheet in a preheated 400 degree oven; bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning after the first 10 minutes to brown on both sides. Serve immediately with melted butter and your favorite honey or syrup.
Serves 4.

Stuffed French Toast
2 1/2 pounds ricotta cheese
3/4 cup sugar
1 orange, zested
1 lemon, zested
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons margarine or butter
10 slices white bread
Blend the ricotta cheese, sugar, orange and lemon zest in a medium mixing bowl. Cover and set aside. Beat eggs and milk in a wide flat bowl. In a large saucepan or griddle, melt margarine on medium heat. Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture briefly on each side. Place in saucepan and cook until browned on each side. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture onto 5 pieces of French toast and spread. Place remaining 5 pieces of toast on top of mixture.
I don't have a recipe off hand but I do have a tip. Use a pinch of baking powder in the egg mixture that the bread is dipped in. You might need two pinches if you are making a bigger batch. The baking powder helps to alleviate the "soggy in the middle" problem.
If you use milk that is starting to sour and bread that is a little stale it will taste better.
This is how we make french toast. In a deep bowl beat together the following with a wisk:
3 eggs - 1/2 cup sugar - a couple of drops of vanilla extract - and about 2 tablespoons milk.
Once this is well beaten, heat a skillet, I use non-stick with about 2 tablespoons of oil. Take your bread - day old or slightly stale bread is the best, put it down one slice at a time into the bowl and coat with egg mixture on both sides, making sure to hold down bread for a few seconds on each side until bread absorbs some of the egg mixture. Transfer a couple of slices to the skillet and cook over a medium heat until the egg is cooked on both sides and through the middle. Once you take out the bread, if it is sweet enough you can eat just like that, or if not sweet enough you can dust with powdered confectioners sugar or use syrup as you would on pancakes.
It might take a little longer but the waits worth it!
