The History of French Toast - TMI 119

The breakfast favorite French toast goes by many names, depending on where it is being served. Some fun names include eggy bread, German toast, poor knights’ pudding, or Bombay toast. No matter what it is called, this delicious food is always made of the same key ingredients: whipped egg, milk or cream  and bread. This tasty sweet snack is also often served with sugar or syrup and fruit, or perhaps a bit of powdered sugar sprinkled on top and consists of bread slices fried in a mixture of milk and egg. You may love French toast, but have you ever wondered about its history?
