French Toast is my favorite breakfast! It’s also my favorite food translation into French: pain perdu or lost bread. I just love the idea of bread that has lost its way and fallen into naughty behaviors like a mounds of milk, eggs, sugar and cinnamon.
Baking French Toast makes the whole process a lot easier, and creates a creamy, bread-pudding-style French Toast, which just makes it more delicious, in my humble, lost-girl opinion. This version uses baked apples, but you can use any kind of fruit pie filling recipe for this.
