Classic French Toast

Cultural Context

French toast, known as 'pain perdu' in France, translates to 'lost bread,' referring to the use of stale bread. This dish is popular for breakfast or brunch and is often enjoyed with sweet toppings like syrup or fruit. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times, where bread was often soaked in milk and eggs to avoid waste.
