Though initially made to prevent stale bread from going to waste, the humble French toast has since found itself as the main star on many international breakfast menus. I usually hate breakfast, but when it comes to the French toast you can sign me up for a breakfast date whenever. When people would tell me that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I would ignore them and gulp a cup of (forced) milk down my throat. In fact, I did not even eat French toast when it was freshly made for breakfast at home. I would instead wait anxiously for lunchtime when Mummy would tell me that she packed French toast in the tiffin. The gooey interior and taste of caramelized sugar were just heavenly! I am sure this simple recipe will be a hit among both kids and adults in your house.
