Along with that, she even put up a poll, asking her followers about the French toast with a yes or no option. Well, if you ask us, it is definitely going to be a yes. But before that, do you know about the history of French toast? This toast, which boasts of being French, is actually so. This dish originated in the courts of the Roman empire, back in 5th century A.D. when milk and butter were mixed together and bread was dipped in it to be fried and served a warm dessert.
The French took up the idea and transformed it into Pain perdu, as it is called in their native language. The concept behind this dish was to repurpose the old and stale bread which had become hard and was difficult to eat otherwise. In order to avoid wastage, a concoction of milk, butter and eggs was prepared and the bread was coated with this and fried. This fried toast came to be known as French toast as it spread elsewhere from here.
Now that you know so much about French toast, how about you make one too? Here are three recipes that you can try at home.
