Apple cinnamon french toast

In French speaking regions, French toast is referred to as pain perdu, meaning “lost bread” in French. It is referred to as “lost bread” because it is a way to reclaim stale or otherwise “lost” bread. The hard bread is softened by dipping in a mixture of milk and eggs, and then fried. The bread is sliced on a bias and dipped into a mixture of egg, milk, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. The slices are pan-fried in butter and traditionally dusted with powdered sugar and served with jam or syrup on the side. Pain perdu may be eaten as a dessert, a breakfast, as well as an afternoon tea snack (“goûter”).

So my daughter Cloé has a french toast  addiction, so every Sunday we tried different things to make our french toast with. Bananas, apples, pineapples, strawberries, blueberries, cinnamon, pecans, walnuts, almonds, vanilla, chocolate, you named it we have tried it! but we still make different combinations.

Last Sunday we didn’t had any nuts at home, so we went with what we had in the fridge and pantry.

Tostadas Francesas con manzanas y canela

En las regiones de habla francesa, las tostadas francesa se conocen como “Pain perdu”, que significa “pan perdido” en francés. Se les conoce como “pan perdido” porque es una manera de recuperar el pan duro o de otra manera “perdido”. El pan duro se ablanda al sumergirlo en una mezcla de leche y huevos, y luego se frie. El pan se corta en rodajas y se sumerge en una mezcla de huevo, leche, azúcar, canela y  vainilla. Las rodajas de pan frito en mantequilla y tradicionalmente espolvoreado con azúcar en polvo y servido con mermelada o jarabe. El pain perdu puede consumirse como postre, un desayuno, así como una merienda en la tarde (“goûter”).

Así que mi hija Cloé tiene una adicción a las tostadas francesas, por lo que cada domingo probamos diferentes ingredientes para hacer nuestras tostadas. Bananas, manzanas, piñas, fresas, arándanos, canela, nueces,  almendras, vainilla, chocolate, ya hemos probado! pero todavía hacemos diferentes combinaciones.
