Pain Perdu Avec Myrtilles (serves three)
White bread of your choice (slightly stale white sandwich bread, or ciabatta loaf are good options)
White sugar to taste
1 punnet of blueberries
1 lemon
3 eggs
A splash of milk as required
Equipment
Frying pan
Bowl
Large wooden or plastic spoon
Fork
Cutting board
Knife
Gas cooker
Method
1. Sprinkle a thick layer of sugar onto a plate - cinnamon could also be added to this
2. In a bowl, beat eggs with a whisk or fork, once beaten add a dash of sugar to sweeten the mix and a splash of milk until the colour lightens (incidentally, liquid yogurt works just as well as I found out, although the texture is very odd, it does not change the taste)
3. Heat pan without oil as the egg mixture allows the bread to not stick
4. Place bread slices in the egg mixture for a few moments, allow it to soak up the egg until it is completely soggy, then place in hot pan.
5. Cook bread on both sides until no longer soggy, and nicely browned. Place straight into the plate of sugar and then flip (it sticks better when hot straight out of the pan)
6. If cooking a large number, cook in batches and place the cooked ones straight from the sugar plate into foil to keep them hot.
7. Sprink your sugar over the top of your slices if it hasn't stuck well enough already, cover with blueberries and a squeeze of lemon juice for freshness.
Serve with freshly squeezed orange juice
