French Toast

The difference is only in the mixture, of course, and the bread varies (more so depending on which country you are in). The mixture for French toast is beaten eggs, milk, and often vanilla and cinnamon, while Bulgarian fried slices are a bit simpler. They are made only with eggs. Fried slices are often served with cheese and are the better choice for savory or neutral-flavored variations. While French toast has a richer sweet taste, thanks to the additions in the egg mixture, it is more suitable for sweet breakfasts.

Regardless of the choice, it is important that the bread is slightly stale to absorb the mixture better and not fall apart during cooking. Almost any type of bread can be used for making French toast, but some types are more suitable than others.

• The classic choice is white bread, which absorbs the egg mixture well and becomes soft and fluffy when cooked.
• Brioche, with its rich butter content, adds extra softness and aroma to French toast.
• For a healthier option, you can use whole grain bread, which adds fiber and nutrients.

French toast is extremely versatile and can be served with a variety of toppings. The classic choice is maple syrup and butter, but I personally prefer honey. Fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or bananas add freshness and vitamins. If you prefer savory, try it with bacon or ham. It also pairs very well with cheese. Overall, the toast is a base that can be combined with all sorts of things.
