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.

LOUISIANA STYLE FRENCH TOAST (OR PAIN PERDU)
I learned how to make this rich, gooey, caramel-ly version of French Toast when I lived in Louisiana. It is very sweet - feel free to decrease the amount of sugar if you wish. There is no milk in this version. If you don't have a good nonstick pan, you may need to grease your pan with some oil or butter rather than the nonstick spray, as the sugar caramelizes and can be a little messy to clean.

Steps:
- Beat together the eggs,sugar,and vanilla extract.
- Dip each slice of bread into the batter to coat both sides.
- Drain off excess batter and cook on a hot griddle that has been first sprayed with nonstick butter flavor spray (or brushed with oil).
- Brown well on both sides,but don't let burn.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve with warm maple syrup on the side.
- Note: You may use any kind of bread you prefer-however,the softer the bread you use, the soggier it will be (I prefer to use day old challah bread or Italian bread slices).
- The number of servings will also vary depending upon the size of your bread slices- I usually serve 2-3 slices per person.

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.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon until blended. Arrange the bread in a large shallow baking dish, overlapping the slices if necessary.
- Pour the milk mixture over the bread and let stand for at least 30 minutes, carefully turning the bread with a wide spatula and rearranging it so it is evenly moistened halfway through the standing time.
- Position one oven rack in the upper third of the oven and one in the lower third and preheat the oven to 400°. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter on each of two baking sheets with sides and place in the oven until the butter melts and pans are hot, about 5 minutes. Tilt the pans so the butter covers them evenly. Remove from the oven.
- Place 5 to 6 slices of the soaked bread on each of the hot pans, spacing them evenly. Bake for 15 minutes. Take the pans out of the oven and turn each piece of bread over with a wide spatula. Return the pans to the oven, placing the one from the top rack on the bottom rack on the top, and bake until the bread is puffed and evenly browned, 15 to 20 minutes more.
- Transfer to a platter, dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup, if desired.
