French Toast 法式厚吐司


Doesn’t need complicated ingredients, French Toast is so easy to make and looks fancy on the table to brighten up the day. Basically, you can use whatever bread you like but I particularly want THICK BREAD for this. Just get my hands on a thick cut of loaf, soak it in smooth batter, and let the pan do the work.

 

Is there anything better than having this thickest ever French Toast for breakfast?

There are so many ways to serve French Toast, let me know what is your favourite addition to go with?⁠ 

Meanwhile sharing a fun fact about French Toast I found online:

French Toast was not invented in France at all! An American man named Joseph French created this savoury sweet delight in 1724 and advertised it as ‘’French Toast’’ which was supposed to be ‘’ French’s Toast’’. But actually this tasty treat has already existed with a very long history as in the age of Roman Empire, Romans dipped bread in a milk and egg mixture before frying which was the similar recipe like what we now know as French Toast.⁠


Quite interesting, isn't it?
