French toast is one of the most popular breakfasts, not only because of the romantic reverie brought by the word "France", but also because of its hot egg fragrance and milk fragrance. French toast for breakfast is the beginning of a happy day.

The common practice of French toast is to use ordinary toast bread or French bread, slice it, wrap it in milk and egg juice, fry it until golden brown, and then sprinkle with powdered sugar, syrup and even jam. Of course, some people made it salty.

There is an old French saying called "toast", which means golden toast. Later, the word evolved into "painperdu", which means expired bread, and the name was later applied to French-American high-end recipes.

The earliest practice of this kind of bread was invented by Roman chef Pitching in 1 century. In the book The Art of Cooking, Pitching accidentally mentioned it, saying that it is a kind of "delicious food with different tastes". The specific method is: "Slice the white bread, peel it, soak it in milk, fry it, and pour it with honey."

In early French literature, bread made in this way was called "Roman bread". In other words, it is regarded as Italian toast in the literature.

1660 Robert? Mei's "Cooking Skills" is the first English document to mention "French toast". In the same year, jervis? Markham's best-selling book "British Housewives" mentioned a very spicy "painperdu", so at least at that time, in the eyes of the British, French toast was invented by the French.

Sometimes, French toast is also called "poor Windsor Knight". This word means poor knight in German, Danish, Swedish and Finnish.

One of the reasons for this analogy is that dessert was the most luxurious part of medieval banquets because spices and nuts needed to be imported at that time.
