Why French Toast Day?
The French Toast goes by different names in different regions. If you haven’t heard of French Toast you must have heard them as eggy bread, Bombay Toast, poor knight’s pudding, or even German Toast!
No matter which country you have it in, the French Toast just needs a few common ingredients – a few eggs, fresh milk, and some bread slices!
Whisk a few eggs in milk with some sugar. Dip the bread in the mixture and heat it on a medium heat pan until slightly golden. Ta-da your homemade French Toast is ready! Trust me it’s as simple as it sounds!
To add more flavor, you could add a few drops of vanilla essence or cinnamon too! Or just get creative with different ingredients you can add to suit your taste buds!
This delicious breakfast recipe doesn’t seem to have any origin in France! Records from the 4th-century Latin recipes mention bread being soaked in milk before frying it. Another record from 14th century Germany tells us that the French Toast was called ‘poor knights’ pudding’ for t being a sweet treat affordable for all!
Today, French Toast is much loved for breakfast or as a snack. Being made with bread, eggs, and milk it surely packs you up with all the energy you need for the rest of the day!
