French toast (often known as eggy bread in the UK ( the exception being Scotland ), pain perdu in French, pain doré in French-speaking parts of Canada) is a popular breakfast food in North America, Europe and Hong Kong.French toast is made with bread (generally pre-sliced) and eggs; some common additions are milk, water, or orange juice to thin the eggs, sugar, and spices such as allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon. Vanilla may also be added to the egg mixture. In restaurants throughout Canada and the United States, the bread is usually thick white bread made especially for use in French toast; when made at home, regular sliced bread is often used. Although usually served as a sweetly spiced dish in the United States, others prefer a savory version, seasoned with salt and pepper instead.
