French toast is a classic breakfast dish with roots tracing back to ancient Roman cooking and popularized in French cuisine as "pain perdu," meaning "lost bread." It's made by dipping slices of bread, often stale to reduce food waste, into a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, and spices such as cinnamon or vanilla, then pan-frying to golden perfection. Often served with toppings like syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, or whipped cream, it strikes a balance between indulgence and versatility. In terms of nutrition, French toast provides protein from the eggs and carbohydrates from the bread, offering energy to start the day. However, its healthiness depends on preparation—a whole-grain bread and moderate toppings can enhance fiber and reduce added sugars, while heavy syrups and butter may increase fats and calories. Whether enjoyed as a treat or a nutrient-conscious meal, French toast is a satisfying fusion of simplicity and flavor.
