National French Toast Day – Make Ahead Casserole

Posted on November 27, 2020 by HelenFern

Tomorrow is National French Toast day.

But what exactly is French toast? Well, it’s not French. This delectable treat is believed to have originated in Ancient Rome and was called Pan Dulcis. They were dipped in milk, and sometimes egg, then fried in oil. Medieval cooks wasted no food. Stale bread was served in this manner. It’s also called eggy bread, gypsy toast and nun’s toast (to mention a few). The French call it pain perdu, which means lost bread.

So where did it get the name French toast? The story goes that in the 1700s Joseph French “created” the dish and intended to call it French’s Toast. Unfortunately he forgot the apostrophe and advertised it as French Toast. So lets celebrate tomorrow, November 28 with this dish that is known in some form around the world.

Here’s a recipe to try right now! Get out that stale bread, cover it with milk and eggs and let it set overnight. Bake it in the morning and serve it with the toppings of your choice! It’s delicious – AND easy!
