Possibly Perfect Pain Perdu

I'm in an alliterating mode.

One of the things I like to do for breakfast is to use up the day old bread by making pain perdu. I like to add some flavorings and sweetness. I've used cinnamon and sugar and bourbon when I have it handy. Sugar never dissolves completely in the egg mixture. So I'm in the kitchen and on the counter are a bottle of rhum vanille from La Gloriette and a bottle of cane syrup that I picked up to make ti punch. Eureka! I add both to the eggs and fry the bread in that extra high fat Normandy butter. Spectacular doesn't even describe how the toast was. Sweet, eggy with that hint of the rhum vanille coming through. Perhaps you have already discovered this and I'm just slow and dim witted but in case you haven't, try it, you'll like it.

Looks great! If you like Maple Syrup (Sirop d'érable) on your pain perdu you can find it at Marché U. It's very close to the cash registers, near the end of one of the aisles, on the right side if you're facing the cash registers.
 
Our favorite Perdu was at Sunday Brunch at Toiny but no more!
Sorry for any confusion. I have been trying to PM you. Must be doing something wrong. My message is that I enjoy your posts and believe you add a great input to this forum. I'm sorry if I insulted you in any way and hope you can forgive me. Thanks Kent
