Portuguese rabanada or simply rabanada, is that type of sweet that appeals to all ages and is well known here in Brazil. It is a dish that is present all over the world and in several places it is a Christmas classic, being present in several Christmas dinners and lunches and enchanting everyone with a fantastic flavor and the sweetness in the right measure, mainly for the citrus taste. that comes from lemon, giving a special touch.

Stories tell that the first records of the French toast recipe began to appear in the 15th century and as much as some people associate this sweet with Portugal, due to its strong presence in the country, there is no absolute confirmation of its origin. Despite this, in colonial times it is said that the Portuguese were responsible for bringing French toast to our Brazilzão and it was incorporated into the cuisine of the time.

One of the interesting parts of French toast is that many people make versions with stale bread, as a way to reuse it in a delicious way, but there are those who prefer fresh bread, in some cases made by hand. A historical moment that is linked to the reuse of bread and the emergence of French toast is Lent, because with the penance of not consuming meat, people had the habit of eating a lot of bread and what was left was transformed into recipes such as Portuguese French toast.
