What is Pain Perdu?
Pain perdu is a sweet French dish that directly translates to “lost bread.” It’s called lost bread because it’s typically made with day-old bread that’s too stale to eat with anything else, a.k.a. bread that would normally be thrown away or “lost”. It’s a pretty cute name, right?
The main difference is that American French toast is usually made with sandwich bread while pain perdu is made with crusty French bread. Like I mentioned earlier, pain perdu is usually made with stale bread so the dryness and hardness of day-old French bread makes a big difference in the final texture. You’ll see what I mean when you try the recipe!
