Well, if it isn’t National French Toast Day! Yum!

French toast is “a dish of bread soaked in beaten eggs and then fried.” In other words, one of my favourite breakfasts! French toast is also known as eggy bread or gypsy toast. The first reports of French toast originate somewhere around the 4th and 5th centuries. There are more concrete reports of recipes stemming from Germany and the Scandinavian countries in the 1500s. 

There are now many variations of French toast, with my personal favourite one being the classic recipe, with the added bonus of oatmeal and cinnamon coating the outer layer. While there isn’t a whole lot more than that to share on French toast, I would encourage each of you to scarf back a piece or two. Why not search the web for a new recipe? Or even better - vote on the Daily Poll!
