French toast

Experience

This week's recipe was a fairly easy recipe to put together. I made a small change to the recipe and added ground cinnamon to it. I didn't add an exact measurement; it was more of adding cinnamon until the top of the egg mixture was covered. My dad has told me before to put lots of cinnamon in your mixture because bread soaks it up. Some of the pieces I could have cooked a little bit longer, but it was still delicious overall.

Origins: French Toast

French toast was discovered in the first century by the Ancient Romans. Soon, many European cooks were making this dish. It was generally known as a poor-man's dish since it used many common ingredients and was discovered as a way to revive old, dry bread. However, it did not stay an average person's dish. Many high-end breads and expensive spices were used to make this recipe. In that time, only the wealthy people were able to read, so only the wealthy could decipher what ingredients went into making french toast unless they had figured out for themselves that the egg and milk mixture could revive old bread. In France, french toast is called, "pain perdu" which translates to "lost bread."
