We had some left over country loaf from Sunday’s bake. After a two days of eating bread with dinner, find I thought it would be good to have bread for dessert. A few months back, we had been watching The Best Thing I Ever Ate’s Rise and Shine Episode. What caught both our eyes was the thick cut pain perdue.

We only used one 2″ thick slice of bread, so I quartered the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 2″ slice of country bread
• 1 c heavy cream
• 1/4 c sugar
• 2 g salt
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbs unsalted butter
• AP flour and sugar for sprinkling
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Method:

• Combine heavy cream, sugar, salt, and eggs and mix thoroughly with a wisk.
• Pour mixture over bread, let sit for a few minutes, and flip the bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat large oven proof pan over medium to medium high heat. Melt butter.
• Sprinkle flour and sugar on the bread, and when the foam subsides cook the bread on one side until richly colored, approximately 5 minutes.
• Flip the bread and put the pan in the oven for 10-15 minutes until cooked.
• Serve with powdered sugar and maple syrup
