While the French have given us so many scrumptious foods like croissants, baguettes, fondue savoyarde, and crème brûlée, French Toast is not one of them. In fact, the dish was named by Americans because immigrants from France popularized it. French Toast is mainly a breakfast staple, but we won’t judge you if you want to eat it throughout the day. Known for its other names like “gypsy toast,” “poor knights,” or “Bombay toast,” it’s a delightful dish that has had many fancy iterations.
It’s unclear where French Toast was invented, but it’s believed that its origins can be traced back to Ancient Rome. In France, a similar version called “pain perdu,” or “lost bread,” existed and referred to stale bread dipped in egg to make it taste better. Today, French Toast is served with butter and maple syrup just to add more goodness to it. Since it’s National French Toast Day, you can probably experiment with more fancy variations to satisfy your discerning palette.
