French Toast


    French toast is a dish of sliced bread soaked in beaten eggs and often milk or cream, then pan fried.

    The earliest recorded record for a dish resembling French toast was discovered in a 4th-century Roman cookbook by Marcus Gabius Apicius called "Cooking and Dining in Imperial Rome." The recipe is called aliter dulcia (translation: "another sweet dish") and describes pieces of crustless white bread that are soaked in milk and beaten egg, then fried in oil and doused with honey. The dish spread througout the 14th Century. At that time, an English cookbook titled "Forme of Cury" describes "payn fondue" as bread that has been soaked in wine, fried in grease and sweetened with dry fruit, spices, and sugar. By 1615, "panperdy" was printed in "The English Huswife" cookbook. In it, sliced bread was soaked in eggs and several spices plus sugar and salt. There was also a version of French toast in a 1660 cookbook called "The Accomplisht Cook" that calls for no eggs at all, but instead to soak bread in wine, sugar, and orange juice.

    As far as the term "French toast" goes, it's believed that the name was an accident. Innkeeper and Albany, New York resident Joseph French introduced the dish in 1724, meaning to call it "French's toast" but a grammatical error deleted the apostrophe and the "s" at the end. By 1871, the term "French toast" appeared in the "Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink" in North America. The name “French toast" was first used in 17th-century England. The recipe and name were brought to America by early settlers. In France, the dish is called “pain perdu," meaning “lost bread." Originally, people made French toast from stale bread in order to make use of bread that would have been thrown away.

4 slices of bread

a pinch of salt
