One incredible culinary combination—eggs, milk, and cinnamon—can make a morning absolutely great when toast is dipped in it. Something about the aroma of it—savory and sweet—and the idea of dipping it in butter and syrup with a side of bacon or breakfast sausage and a large glass of orange juice are appealing. Even on the darkest days, the anticipation of this pleasure will motivate someone to get out of bed.
Everybody is encouraged to enjoy French toast for breakfast (or lunch, or even dinner!) on National French Toast Day, whether they do so alone or with a small group of friends or family.
Ahead of National French Toast Day, be ready!
When is National French Toast Day
On November 28, which is National French Toast Day, there is no need to stress over what to make for breakfast. That dense, sweet, and salty delicacy has become a mainstay of the American morning menu. Even thinking about this subject makes us want to get up late and have to breakfast. We are thrilled about National French Toast Day because of this.
National French Toast Day History
French toast is known by a variety of names depending on where it is eaten for breakfast. Eggy bread, German toast, poor knights’ pudding, and Bombay toast are a few of the amusing names. No matter what name it goes by, this delectable dish always contains the same essential components: whipped egg, milk (or cream), and bread.
This delicious sweet snack is made of bread slices that are fried in a mixture of milk and egg with the crucial addition of cinnamon. It is frequently served with sugar or syrup, fruit, or even a little powdered sugar sprinkled on top.
Because it was frequently cooked with stale or outdated bread, it is known in France as “pain perdu,” which literally translates to “lost bread.” The dish isn’t strictly recognized as having originated in France, despite the fact that most people like to call it French Toast.
The practice of soaking bread in milk before frying is mentioned in some ancient Latin recipes from the fourth century. In Germany in the fourteenth century, the term “poor knights’ pudding” was coined to describe the sweet treat because it was thought to be a reasonable meal for people without a lot of money to spend. It is now consumed all over the world for breakfast or as a sweet snack.
“Mozzarella en Carrozza,” a savory variation of this dish popular in Italy, calls for adding slices of mozzarella cheese to the egg-soaked bread before it is fried. ‘Mozzarella in a carriage’ is what this name actually means. In this instance, eggy bread is therefore acceptable both as a dessert and as a main course.
