Pain Perdu A La Banane

Bonjour,

Another day, another dessert. And this afternoon our teatime snack was pain perdu or French toast. Simple dessert but the result was wonderful, just like the way I wanted it, less sweet but still very tasty! I don't add any sugar in the egg milk mixture because the brioche itself already quite sweet. When I place the toast on the hot pan, I just sprinkle some sugar to caramelize a little bit and also to give a little extra crunch.

This pain perdu can be served with all sort of fruits and nuts, so just use up with what we have in the pantry.
