The Origin of French Toast
This might come as a surprise to you all, because it was quite shocking to me upon first learning this. As it turns out, French toast might not be so French after all! The origins of French toast has been traced back to 1st century Rome of all places. It seems that the earliest known recipe for French toast can be found in an ancient Roman cook book known as the Apicius. Roman French toast was said to consist of white bread soaked in a milk and beaten egg mixture before being fried in oil and covered in honey. Honestly, this piece of information quite literally blew me away! You learn something new everyday, am I right?!
In modern times, there are various French toast preparations throughout the world. I think we’re all aware of American French toast. The most modern French toast recipe in the states is believed to have emerged out of New Orleans. If I’m being honest though, Hong Kong style French toast stands out the most in mind. Look at it for yourself to get better idea of what I mean!
Easy French Toast Recipe
Well folks, I think it’s safe to say that I’m on a breakfast kick once more! It seems just like yesterday since I’d posted my recipe and illustration for crepes and avocado toast. Yet, here were again, with a very simple to follow recipe for French Toast! This is a recipe that I absolutely couldn’t go for too long without doing. Admitedly, there are a lot less steps to this than the crepes recipe.
As I mentioned in past posts, I really would like to stick to easier recipes if I can. If you care to know why I do this, it’s partially because there are a lot of people I know in life who still can’t cook. As of late, I’ve been inclined to believe that this is a pretty common issue in our current era. So much to do, so little time! I might as well help with the time part since I can!
Preparation
To start, you’re going to need a decent sized griddle to cook your French toast on. A skillet works as well, but a large sized grittle is preferred if you’re cooking more than 1 or 2 slices. Here’s a link to the griddle I use when I make French toast as well as when I cook for family when they’re in town.
Next thing on the list is going to be a good old whisk. This should be obvious enough. It’ll be needed for combining all of your ingredients together in a mixing bowl. With that, I think we’re ready to begin!
French Toast Cooking Instructions
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
1/4 cup milk
8 thick slices bread
4 large eggs
2 tbsp of cane sugar
2 tbsp of butter
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup maple syrup
Cooking Instructions
1.) In a medium bowl. Beat 4 eggs using a whisk. Combine milk, beaten eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl.
2.) Coat your griddle or skillet with butter and heat at medium-high temperature over the stove.
3.) Once the butter is heated, dunk a single slice of bread in to the egg and milk mixture. Make sure both sides of the bread are coated in the mixture before placing it on the skillet.
4.) Cook the bread for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the bread on its other side using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Transfer cooked bread on to a plate. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all of the bread slices are cooked
5.) Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit if you’d like. Enjoy!
