About Baked french toast

Baked French Toast is a warm, sweet breakfast dish derived from traditional French countryside recipes that repurpose stale bread. It is commonly prepared across Western cuisines, including American and European kitchens. Made with bread, eggs, milk, sugar, and spices like cinnamon, baked French toast provides a combination of macronutrients such as carbohydrates from bread and protein from eggs and milk. The dish can be rich in calcium due to dairy content, but its sugar levels should be consumed mindfully. Variations often include fruit toppings, nuts, or syrups for extra flavor and texture.

Health Benefits

• Eggs provide high-quality protein essential for muscle repair and maintenance.
