Pain Perdu Recipe with Caramelised Peaches
In this recipe, Gordon Ramsay shares his version of Pain Perdu, a French toast made with old bread that absorbs a delicious egg mixture and turns crispy on the outside. The secret to this dish is getting a little bit of color on the peaches without caramelizing them too much. The basil adds a light, sweet, summery flavor to the dish. The fresh vanilla custard pairs perfectly with the brioche, which is cut into long slices and cooked until golden. Finally, the Pain Perdu is served with caramelized peaches and a sprinkle of mint and icing sugar. It's a simple yet absolutely delicious dish that will impress your guests.
