Why French Toast Is Called French Toast?
French Toast is called French Toast because it is believed to have originated in France in the 18th century. The dish was originally known as “pain perdu,” which means lost bread in French. It was created as a way to use up stale bread by soaking it in a mixture of eggs, milk, and sugar before frying it. From France, the dish spread to other countries and became known as French Toast due to its French origins.
