Pain perdu recipe

I have to write down a recipe in Japanese as a home work for my Japanese course.

Let's write it in English and translate...

When I was a child, my mom would make "pain perdu" and I remember not liking it very much. Pain perdu means lost bread or left over. This would usually be two-three days old bread. A way to use it.

I make it with fresh bread, it is nicer :-)

4 eggs
1 dl milk
a little salt
sugar to taste
3-4 slices of 2cm thick bread (with crust)
1 apple
(option: cinnamon)

Pre-heat the oven to 180C.

Mix the eggs with milk, salt and sugar. Cut bread into 2cm squares and put it into the egg mix. Bread must absorb the mix. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

Cut apple in small pieces.

Put the bread egg mix into a baking pan (silicone one will be easier to clean) and add the pieces of apple.

Bake it for 50 minutes.

Enjoy.

PS: I have also used the same recipe replacing apple with canned pear. In this case, I replace sugar with juice from the can (about 1 dl)
