National French Toast Day

National French Toast Day celebrates the popular breakfast dish made from bread slices soaked in a mixture of eggs and milk, then fried or baked. The origins of French toast can be traced back to ancient Roman times when it was a way to use up stale bread. The dish gained popularity in France in the 17th century and became known as ‘pain perdu,’ which means ‘lost bread.’ Over time, it spread to other countries and became a beloved breakfast option worldwide. National French Toast Day is a time to enjoy this delicious and comforting dish in all its variations.
