How do you make Pane Perso

[freeradical]

Just curious. Some people say it should only be eggs, but I feel that some liquid is needed because egg by itself doesn't get absorbed into the bread. I use half and half.

.....you mean.....Pain Perdu.....???


....usually need to soak in milk......if you like it 'richer' than yes.....use cream.....or half-in-half if you want something in the middle.....don't think eggs alone would do it........

.......sometimes you use what you have on hand.....if you want something 'vegan' I'm sure you can use one of the non-dairy milks like oat milk, soy, rice milk, etc.......


....it all depends on your own taste preference.....or those for which you are making it......

I don't like cream at breakfast, but if it were to be served as a dessert, it's fine.

Akin to what Mr. BIG said; depends on the meal, diners, and time of day.

I sometimes go a slightly different route, I mix orange juice and milk at about a 1:3 ratio and a teaspoon of sugar. The juice slightly curdles the milk, thickening it to a light whipping cream consistency. It adds a mild citrus flavor while not taking away the expected taste.

You can fancy it up with a drizzle of light syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, the zest of the orange, and a sprig of mint.

Am I the only person who's never heard of Pane Perso or Perdu?

Lost Bread

I guess I used the Italian words.

Perduto is the the regular past participle for perdere, and perso, the irregular one.
