Homemade French Toast is a beloved breakfast dish with origins in European cuisine, particularly France, where it’s known as “pain perdu,” translating to “lost bread.” Traditionally, it’s made by dipping slices of bread—often day-old or slightly stale—into a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of cinnamon before pan-frying until golden brown. Served with toppings like fresh fruit, syrup, or powdered sugar, it balances indulgence with versatility. While French Toast is rich in carbohydrates and offers protein from the egg mixture, its nutritional profile depends on preparation and toppings. Opting for whole-grain bread and moderate amounts of sugar and syrup can make it a healthier option. Add nutrient-dense fruits like berries for natural sweetness and antioxidants. It’s a hearty dish that can be enjoyed occasionally, balancing comfort food indulgence with mindful nutritional choices.
