In reply to Samia. You can remove it entirely, Samia. It does add some wonderful notes, so you could additionally add a bit of finely grated orange zest, which would be wonderful! Please enjoy!

In reply to Barbara. So glad to hear it, Barbara. Berry compote sounds amazing for "dipping". Berries are definitely made for pain perdu, in whatever form they come in.

Made this recipe for my grands; 3 and 22 months. Absolutely delicious, custard-like and flavorful. My grands love berries so made a berry compote (blueberries, red raspberries and black raspberries) for “dipping”. They loved it!

Sooo yummy!! It’s a great way to make use of stale bread and a winner with the family. It’s very quick to make too which is also a bonus. Definitely a keeper!

We made this to make up for having to lose an hour of sleep (Day light savings). I used a white loaf bread I bought at farmer’s market and had froze. Came out lovely and delicious. Thank you for your wonderful recipes!
