French toast is a popular breakfast dish made by soaking slices of bread in a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, and often sugar and spices like cinnamon. The soaked bread is then cooked on a skillet or griddle until golden brown on both sides. This dish can be served with various toppings, such as syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. While its exact origins are unclear, variations of French toast can be found in many cultures around the world, making it a beloved meal for many.
