Pain perdu with marshmallows !


Yes, i'm definitely one of those people "blessed" with a sweet tooth. I know i'm not alone, so i decided to post this wonderful dessert recipe.
You know, sometimes i wake up alll excited about the sun shining through my window. Ready to seize the day, to eat all my veggies and fruit. But then, JUST when i was ready to be the best version of me, nope, they had no more carrots NOR blueberries at the market today. And yes, when i decided to get the last strawberries and walk home, it started pouring rain ... SO what's a girl gotta do with herself? Yes, i went home, opened my "dark days" closet and opened a pack of marshmallows. And baked this lovely pain perdu. Just to prove myself that i still got it (not the sweet tooth, but the will to bake :))






Ingredients:
8 big slices of old toast
200 ml of milk (i used full fat raw milk, but others should work fine too)
2 medium sized eggs
50 gr of honey(or sugar)
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar
100 gr of marshmallows


Heat the oven to 180°degrees. Butter a pan, it can be a regular 24 cm one, but also another sizes will work, then it'll become more of a one layer baked french toast. 
Beat the eggs with milk and honey. Layer the bread slices. Pour the eggs and milk mixture on the bread. Lastly put the marshmellows as the top layer. Bake for ab 25 min. If you have a fancy oven, use the grill option for the last 5 min, but it'll be delicious in any case :)
We estonians like to enjoy it with a cup of milk, but it's everybody's own choice how to have it, hot or cold, straight from the oven with a spoon (my preference!) or for the next days brunch. Basically whichever makes you happy :)
