"This French classic needs little introduction, but if you haven’t had it in baked form, you’re in for a treat Think upscale ham sandwiches drenched in egg custard and cheese, melted to a deep golden-brown There are no tricks here, save for the addition of two extra yolks for maximum French-toast tenderness..."
