A super-easy and delicious recipe from my Belgian friend Suzy who owns a very charming B&B in the heart of France . It’s the perfect last-minute dessert in case of an unexpected guest. Besides some old bread you’ll only need some basic pantry essentials: jam,butter,milk,eggs,sugar and some spices. Success is guaranteed.
