Vanilla croutons

Vanilla French toast is an elegant breakfast that embodies the spirit of French cuisine. Its roots trace back to the traditional French dish 'pain perdu,' meaning 'lost bread.' Once a way to give yesterday's baguette a second life by soaking it in a mixture of milk and eggs. Vanilla adds a refined sweetness, while brown sugar contributes a warm caramel note. The crispy golden crust outside and tender texture inside make them truly delightful. Served hot, dusted with powdered sugar or with berries and honey. Vanilla French toast is the perfect breakfast for a leisurely morning when you want to feel the coziness and warmth of home.
