teffondrais

Teffondrais is a traditional dish from the island of Réunion, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean. It is a type of bread pudding, often referred to as "pain perdu" in French, which is a common term for bread pudding in many European countries. The dish is typically made with stale bread, which is soaked in a mixture of milk, eggs, and sugar, then baked until golden and crispy on the outside.

The bread used in teffondrais is often a local variety known as "pain de mie," which is a soft, white bread with a slightly sweet flavor. The dish is often flavored with spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla, and may be topped with a caramel sauce or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. It is a popular dessert in Réunion and is often served with a cup of coffee or tea.

Teffondrais is a simple yet delicious dish that showcases the use of local ingredients and traditional cooking techniques. It is a staple at family gatherings and celebrations, and is often enjoyed by both locals and visitors to Réunion. The dish has also gained popularity in other parts of the world, particularly in French-speaking countries, where it is often served as a traditional dessert.
