French toast is a
dish of sliced
bread soaked in beaten
eggs and often
milk or
cream , then pan-fried. Alternative names and variants include eggy bread, Bombay toast, gypsy toast, and
poor knights (of Windsor) .
When French toast is served as a sweet dish, sugar , vanilla , and cinnamon are also commonly added before pan-frying, and then it may be topped with sugar (often powdered sugar ), butter, fruit, or syrup. When it is a savoury dish , it is generally fried with a pinch of salt or pepper, and it can then be served with a sauce such as ketchup or mayonnaise .

Slices of bread are soaked or dipped in a mixture of beaten eggs, often whisked with milk or cream. Sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla may be added to the mixture. The bread is then fried in butter or olive oil until browned and cooked through.
Day-old bread is often used, both for its thrift and because it will soak up more egg mixture without falling apart.
The cooked slices may be served with sugar or sweet toppings such as caramel, ice cream, jam, honey, fruit, or
maple syrup .
There are many variations. The dipping mixture might not include eggs and the bread may be soaked in wine,
rosewater , or orange juice, either before or after cooking.
