This delicious french toast has always put a smile on my face and the aroma while making this has made me go Mmmmm. Now, once in a while I tend to make this for breakfast when I get tired of my regular breakfast dishes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;ve been under the impression that this breakfast dish must have been created in France, well after reading about this in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/French_toast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wiki<\/a> I came to learn that French toast was first mentioned in the &#8220;Apicius&#8221;, a collection of Roman recipes dating back to the 4th or 5th century. That was a pretty new and interesting information to me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I usually have just the french toast, so this time for a change I topped it with caramelized plums which made the french toast even more delicious. You could make the topping with almost any kind of fruits, for instance: strawberry, pears, mango, apples, orange, etc. If you haven&#8217;t tasted french toast yet, then you are missing out on something really delicious which can be made effortlessly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>French Toast with Caramelized Plums:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6934\" title=\"french toast with caramelized plums\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/french-toast-with-caramelized-plums.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/french-toast-with-caramelized-plums.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/french-toast-with-caramelized-plums-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/french-toast-with-caramelized-plums-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For making French Toast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Makes &#8211;
