French toast is a dish made of sliced bread soaked in eggs and typically milk, then pan-fried. Alternative names and variants include "eggy bread", "Bombay toast", "German toast", "gypsy toast", and "poor knights". French toast is perfect for breakfast, also its a very good brunch. It is really easy and quick to make also awesomely delicious! You can use any kind of bread of your choice for this recipe, white or brown, Italian, or French. But french toast comes out best if you use thick slices of loaf bread.



Ingredients: 
  • Thick Slice Bread - 6
  • Large Size Egg - 2 
  • Tbsp Brown/white Sugar - 2 
  • Cup Milk - 1/3
  • Vanilla Essence - 1 Tsp
  • Cinnamon Powder - 1/4 Tsp 
  • Pinch Salt - 1

Procedure:

  • Then add milk, vanilla essence, cinnamon powder, and salt to the mixture. 
  • Whisk until well combined. 
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter for every 2 slices and allow it to melt. 
  • Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for some time on both sides. 
  • Then transfer the bread to the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes each side. 
  • Serve hot with butter and maple syrup or honey, you can even add any fruits or berries you like and eat the french toast with it.

History:
  • French Toast was created by a man named Joseph French. 
  • He created the dish in 1724 and advertised it as “French Toast” because he was grammatically inept and forgot the apostrophe. 
  • But before we give our man Joe all the credit, let’s check the facts. 
  • According to a collection of recipes from the early 5th century AD, the dish we now know as French toast existed as early as the age of the Roman Empire. 
  • In their style of French toast, called Pan Dulcis, Romans would soak bread in a milk and egg mixture, then fry it in oil or butter. 
  • Others believe that French toast was created by medieval European cooks who needed to use every bit of food they could find to feed their families. 
  • They knew day-old bread could be revived when moistened and heated. 
  • They added the eggs for additional moisture and protein.
