Blueberry Pain Perdu

Blue berries that are both sharp and sweet compliment this simple Pain Perdu, french toast or indeed eggy bread.
Use brioche for the bread, fresh organic eggs, a dash of good vanilla essence and and use whole milk for your mixture, if possible,  stir through a tablespoon or so of Orange Liqueur just before dipping the bread into the custard mix.

Fry in a small amount of proper butter until lightly burnished and crisp to the outside and pillowy, soft, custardy brioche within. Serve with a drizzle of a simple syrup of agave and lime juice, lightly dust with icing / confectioners sugar and let the delicate layers of flavour wow late risers, stay-over or brunch guests or just for that diva duvet day.

Enjoy  x
