French toast perfectly fits into the low-calorie and healthy breakfast criteria. Though this fundamental dish has a lot of elaborate variants, this simple recipe works wonders for a perfect figure. The recipe features wholewheat bread drenched heavily in a creamy, aromatic custard mixture, which is prepared by whisking egg whites, milk, maple syrup, basic spices, and so on. It is then toasted with a little butter and garnished with fresh berries and syrup and is best served with whipped cream or ice cream. The fewest items needed to make this delectable breakfast recipe are too quick to gather. Children will adore this, and their health will be preserved. Among the most popular and opulent breakfast  recipes has to be this one.

French toast did not, in fact, originate in France; it existed long before the country was formed. French Toast is really referred to as "pain perdu", which translates to "lost bread" in France. This dish was created to use up all of the stale bread from earlier days when food was scarce and nothing had to be wasted. Around 300 A.D., in Rome, the first French toast recipe was documented by a Roman author, Apicius, in the ‘Cooking and Dining in Imperial Rome’. The decadent meal was known as "Roman Bread" for many years by the French people themselves. The world has largely embraced French toast today.
