Parmesan Pain Perdu

It goes by many names... French toast, German toast, freedom toast, pain perdu, the poor Knights of Windsor, and more. Dunked in egg, even stale bread tastes good. If the bread happens to be fresh, even better. For a savoury version, Benito's is hard to beat: fat spongy slabs of French toast served with parmesan, grilled bacon and some tomato relish (you have to ask for the relish). Delicious.
