Ancient Roman: Home-made Sweet Dish Or French Toast

"Dulcia Domestica"
4 Eggs
1 c Milk
8 sl White bread crusts removed (opt)

Apicius's original recipe, translated by J.D. Vehling: Break fine white bread, crust removed, into rather large pieces which soak in milk [and beaten eggs], fry in oil, cover with honey and serve.

Modern version: Beat eggs and milk together. Dip bread in batter. Fry in hot skillet, turning after each side browns. Serve hot with warmed honey. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
