- Beat the eggs with the sugar, then stir in the milk. Melt the butter in a skillet. Dip the bread in the egg mixture, set the slices in the pan, and cook over medium heat until golden — about 4–5 minutes per side. Serve with honey, syrup, or sweetened condensed milk; chocolate spread is great too. You can also dust the toast with powdered sugar and top it with fresh fruit or berries. Any white bread works, and you can make this for breakfast or a snack. Enjoy! A bit of background: French toast, or "sweet toast," goes by many names around the world. In German-speaking cuisine it's called armer Ritter ("poor knight"). In France, where the dish was well known in medieval times, it's pain perdu ("lost bread"), a nod to using up stale — that is, "lost" — bread; it was also called "golden bread" for its color after frying. The Spanish version, torrija, soaks the bread in milk before frying and is often finished with olive oil, lemon juice, honey, or sugar. In the U.S. it's simply "French toast," typically served with fruit, whipped cream, and maple syrup. Hong Kong–style French toast layers slices of bread with peanut butter or jam, dips the whole thing in beaten egg, fries it, and serves it with butter and golden syrup or honey — a classic offering in Hong Kong tea cafés.
