- 0.5 stale baguette
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup carrots
- 4 oz Gruyère cheese
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
How to make Pain Perdu Salé aux Carottes et Gruyère (Savory French Toast Bake with Carrots and Gruyère)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch (or similar sized) baking dish with a bit of butter or cooking spray.
- Slice half of a stale baguette into 1-inch thick rounds or cubes. Arrange the bread slices evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs, 1.5 cups of whole milk, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
- Grate 1 cup of carrots and 4 ounces of Gruyère cheese. Stir half of the grated carrots and half of the grated Gruyère into the egg mixture.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread in the baking dish, ensuring all the bread pieces are well soaked. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid, if necessary.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated carrots and Gruyère cheese over the top of the bread and egg mixture.
- Cut 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter into small pieces and dot them over the top of the casserole. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves over the entire dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the Pain Perdu is golden brown on top, puffed, and the center is set when lightly pressed. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the dish to firm up slightly and the flavors to meld. Serve warm.
