Pain Perdu from Café Adelaide in New Orleans
New Orleans has its own style of French toast (of course it does!) called Pain Perdu (recipe). The difference is it’s made with a stale French baguette, and it’s fried to a crunch, making it a cross between French toast and an elephant ear. Two great meals in one!
In New Orleans, every nite before bed, I tell myself I am only having fruit for breakfast. And every morning, that does not happen. Happy weekend brunching!
