Steps:
- Preheat nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Beat eggs very well, add sugar and beat again. Add cornstarch in water and beat that in, then add milk and nutmeg. Coat bread thoroughly in egg-milk mixture. Lightly butter hot pan with butter nested in paper towels. Add bread to the pan and cook slowly, 3 or 4 minutes on each side, 2 to 3 slices at a time. Serve hot with your favorite toppings or Three Berry Compote.
- Combine sugar, lemon and water in a small sauce pot. Over moderate heat, dissolve sugar into water. Stir in fruit, coating it in sugar water and bring the fruit and water to a bubble. Reduce heat and simmer 7 or 8 minutes. Remove fruit with a slotted spoon to a serving dish and add maple syrup or honey to the pan. Thicken syrup 5 minutes and pour over fruit. Serve with French toast, pancakes or waffles.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 F. Generously butter a large baking sheet.
- If desired, remove the crusts from bread slices and discard them or reserve them for another use. Set the bread aside.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs with salt, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Pour into a flat-bottomed dish large enough to accommodate a few slices of the bread.
- Place the bread slices into the dish to soak up some of the egg mixture, a few at a time. Turn with a spatula and let them soak on the other side, but not too long, or they will be too saturated and difficult to turn. Gently remove the soaked bread slices to the buttered baking sheet and continue with the remaining bread slices. Spoon any remaining egg mixture over the slices.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the pain perdu for 15 to 20 minutes, turning after the first 10 minutes to brown on both sides.
- Serve immediately with melted butter and your favorite honey or syrup.

FRENCH PAIN PERDU (LOST BREAD) CREOLE STYLE
Don't throw away that bread!! This is a great way to use up day old bread. The kind of bread that works best is dense French, Italian, or brioche. This is a great brunch item. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute brandy with vanilla extract. Experiment with other extracts too.

PAIN PERDU ROANOKE (LOST BREAD)
This lost bread (french toast) recipe has an interesting twist; it's made with cornbread. Although it's written with direction for using a box of corn muffin mix, feel free to substitue your own homemade cornbread (see the note at the bottom of the recipe). From the McCormick Cookbook. (Time includes making the cornbread, but not the cooling time.)

Steps:
- TO PREPARE THE CORNBREAD:.
- Preheat oven to 400; Spray an 8x4x3" loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a bowl, add the corn muffin mix, 1 egg, 1/4 cup milk, savory (or thyme) and cayenne.
- Mix according to package directions, then gently fold in the corn.
- Pour into the baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Cool.
- PAIN PERDUE:.
- Slice the loaf of cornbread into 6 even slices, then cut each slice in half diagonally, so you have 12 triangles.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add the milk, sugar, nutmeg and vanilla and mix well.
- Pour enough oil into a skillet (or electric skillet) to about 2"; heat to 350.
- Soak the triangles of cornbread in the egg mixture, carefully removing the pieces to the hot oil.
- Fry for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown, turning once.
- Remove the pieces from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper.
- Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and serve with maple syrup.
- NOTES: You can substitute your own favorite homemade cornbread recipe for the corn muffin mix (you'll need a recipe that would normally fit an 8x8" pan).
- Just omit the corn muffin mix, the 1/4 cup milk and the 1 egg, prepare your own recipe, then add the corn and cayenne as directed, and proceed with the recipe from that point.
