(NAPSI)-The origins of French toast are unclear, but a first century Roman cookbook contains one of the earliest known references to bread soaked in eggs and then fried.
Whatever its origin, however, French toast is now a familiar and comforting breakfast food with endless variations. Traditionalists may begin with a loaf of stale Italian or French bread, but other breads can be used, such as challah or raisin bread.
Raisin bread makes an especially tasty version of French toast. The recipe developers at Sun-Maid Growers suggest stuffing sliced bananas between two pieces of battered raisin bread and then frying up a deliciously fruity French toast.
