BETH'S EASY PAIN PERDU RECIPE
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:
1 day old baguette cut into 8 slices (2in thick)
3 eggs
1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
1 tsp (5 ml) sugar
¼ tsp (1.25 ml) salt
2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla
1 tbsp (15 ml) orange zest
2 tbsp (30 ml) syrup
2 tbsp (30 ml) butter
1 tbsp (15 ml) orange zest
A sprinkle of orange zest for garnish

METHOD:
Slice baguette into 2" thick slices set aside.

In a shallow bowl add the eggs, milk, sugar, salt, whisk that together and then add the vanilla and orange zest, whisk to combine.

Then place bread in the bowl to soak for at least a total of 6 mins (3 mins on each side)

While bread in soaking you can heat the syrup. In a sauce pan heat 2 tbsp (30 ml) of syrup, 2 tbsp (30 ml) butter and 1 tbsp (15 ml) orange zest until warm. Keep on a very low flame just to keep warm.

Then heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) of butter in a large non-stick skillet. Place soaked bread in pan, be careful not to crowd them so they can brown. Once browned on 1 side, flip them on the other side and cook for another 1-2 mins until golden brown. Then turn them on their sides to brown a bit, making sure the raw egg is being cooked on all sides.

Then remove from a pan and place on a serving platter. Drizzle the orange syrup over the bread and top with some freshly grated orange zest to garnish. Enjoy!
