French Toast with Cheese

Cultural Context

French toast, known as "pain perdu" in France, has its roots in the need to use stale bread. Traditionally, it was a way to avoid waste. The addition of cheese makes it a savory twist on the classic sweet version, often enjoyed as a breakfast or brunch dish. Today, variations abound globally, with many cultures adding their local flavors and ingredients.
