French Toast is a beloved breakfast dish that boasts a perfect balance of indulgence and simplicity. Slices of bread soaked in a mixture of eggs, milk, and spices are pan-fried to a golden brown, creating a delightful treat that has stood the test of time.

What is French Toast?

French Toast, also known as "eggy bread," is a dish where stale bread slices are given a new life by being dipped in a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, and often flavored with cinnamon or vanilla. Originating centuries ago, this comfort food has been enjoyed worldwide under various names, such as "pain perdu" in France, which means "lost bread," reflecting its resourceful nature of using leftover bread. The variations are numerous, ranging from stuffed French toast with cream cheese and berries to savory versions with ham and cheese.

Indulging in Quick and Easy French Toast is a delightful experience that resonates with a touch of nostalgia.

The satisfaction of creating a scrumptious breakfast treat that requires minimal effort reflects the essence of culinary artistry. Just as French Toast brings out the warmth of comfort food, its preparation and enjoyment mirror the joyous familiarity found in dishes that stand the test of time.

2. Now to make the batter, crack the eggs in a bowl along with the cream,milk, cinnamon , nutmeg , sugar and our secret ingredient- maple syrup.
3. Whisk all these ingredients together until well combined.
4. Now soak the bread slices in the mix, making sure the liquid is well soaked into the bread from both sides.(Do not over soak the bread or it might tear apart)

6. Cook the Bread for 3-4 minutes on each side or until well cooked and a nice crust is formed on the outside.
