Bring Your Breakfast to a Whole New Level With French Toast on the Grill

French toast is a breakfast staple for a reason. How can it get better? We’re here to tell you that when you cook French toast on the grill — a pellet grill, to be precise — its taste is out of this world.

A pellet grill works similarly to a convection oven, with dry air revolving around your food at consistent temperatures. These incredible smokers impart real wood smoke flavor while cooking food evenly and thoroughly. Plus, they keep food deliciously moist.

At Grilla Grills, our reasonably priced pellet grills make the benefits of cooking over wood fire accessible. These appliances sit in your backyard and resemble the standard propane grills used for generations.

French Toast Fun Facts

Grilled French toast is primarily a popular breakfast dish, but it can also be served as a dessert with the right ingredients. The funny part? French toast may not be an authentic French food. Its origins are unclear. With roots that can be traced to a recipe from 300 or 400 AD, it’s thought to have been first consumed by ancient Romans.

We bet you’ve never heard of these other fun facts about French toast:

• It’s also called Poor Knights of Windsor, nun’s toast, gypsy toast, torrija, German toast, Spanish toast, eggy bread and Bombay toast.
• It has its own holiday! Each year on November 28, people enjoy National French Toast Day.
• Many people swear by using stale bread because it’s better at absorbing the eggs before the mixture is fried.
• In Scotland, French toast is generally eaten as a sandwich. This dish is served with sausage between two French toast slices. In Great Britain, it is also sometimes eaten with ketchup. Savory avocado French toast doesn’t seem so odd now, does it?

Who Invented Avocado Toast?

If you thought avocado toast was a modern luxury, think again. The marriage of bread and avocado has been in place for decades, if not centuries. If we’re talking about when avocado toast was first served in public restaurants, it may have been during the early 1900s. In 1915, the California Avocado Association promoted avocado on small squares of bread as an appetizer, and in 1993, Chef Bill Granger of Sydney, Australia put avocado toast on his cafe menu.
