Baked French Toast
Have you ever heard of the poor knights of Windsor? If not, you should know that ‘pain perdu’ or ‘French toast’ have the same meaning as the poor knights’. It’s basically eggs and milk-soaked bread and although usually it is fried, we’ve chosen to bake ours. It can be savory or sweet so, we sweetened it with brown sugar and maple syrup.
Ingredients Needed for Baked French Toast
8 eggs
2 cups of milk
1 ½ cups of heavy whipping cream
