FAQ
French toast is a dish made with sliced bread that's soaked in a mixture of egg, milk, cinnamon, and sugar.
Not at all! What we know today as French toast was actually invented in North America. According to legend, Joesph French created the dish in 1724. He was going to advertise it as French's toast, but he forgot the apostrophe because of his grammatical ineptitude.
All those nooks and crannies that soak up butter so readily also soak up the egg mixture used in French toast!
