Leftover Magic: Turning Bread into Family Treats
Good bread deserves a second life — especially when it comes from our ovens.
If you find yourself with a few leftover slices at the weekend, don’t let them go to waste.
Here’s one of our favourite ways to turn yesterday’s loaf into a moment of pure joy:
French Toast.
French Toast — A Classic Made Even Better
You’ll need:
Slices of day-old bread (our Pain Blanc and Campagne work beautifully but if you have Shokupan or Brioche Feuilletée relishes, that’s para-para-paradise ohohohohooo)
2 eggs
150ml milk (or a splash of cream for extra richness)
A little sugar (Muscovado or any brown)
A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Butter for frying
How to:
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon together.
Dip the bread slices into the mixture, letting them soak for a few seconds.
Heat a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the soaked bread until golden and slightly crispy on both sides.
Serve warm with berries, a drizzle of honey, a dusting of icing sugar — or all three! (Ask kindly 😉and we will post a homemade Hazelnut Spread recipe just here!)
Why we love it
It’s simple enough for a Sunday morning with the kids.
It’s indulgent enough for a lazy brunch with friends.
And it’s a lovely way to honour the craft and care that goes into every loaf.
So, next time you pick up a Pierre Alix loaf, remember: a few slices set aside could be tomorrow’s sweetest moment.
