Eggy bread is French toast, yes? I.e. you beat two eggs with a pint of milk, and then depending on your inclination, add a teasp of vanilla and some sugar, or don't, then soak slices of bread in it and pan fry until golden. Serve with jam, maple sugar or in some places, (gulp) catsup.
In which case, yep. Good stuff. My favourite variation is the one where you make sandwiches with marmalade and cream cheese and soak them in the custard mix overnight before baking in a moderate oven. Yum. |

Yes it's eggy bread OP, though it is also called 'french toast' by the lower middle classes!
I'm not keen on it personally - it looks and sounds better than it is. |

I love eggy bread, but I just dip the bread in beaten egg and fry it in the frying pan until golden.
Lovely! |

You've never had eggy bread? Oh dear
![]() Go have it now. Right now. Drop whatever you are doing and go eat some. Whip up the eggs nice and airy, add some seasoning, dip the bread and drop into a hot pan with a little oil. Turn after a couple of minutes and have with brown sauce. |

I saw that advert last week Orangemaid
It was a great advert - where the girl student ? was making it in a sort of slap dash way then >>>>>>> took it to the table to eat while she chatted on the phone to a parent - to assure them she was eating OK It did look very nice - all sizzley hot and crispy edged and golden I have tried it years ago - but would prefer a real soft yolked egg - to enjoy on toast or a sandwich |

A pint! Wow.
I leave out the milk all together and prefer savoury to sweet. Onions, garlic and chilies. In the US, French toast is always sweet. Typical toppings are maple syrup, jam or powdered sugar. Learning there was a version served with tomato or brown sauce was an eyebrow raiser. |

Depending on how thick the bread is you get 4-6 well dipped slices that way.

I had a mate who mashed a boiled egg up and smeared it on a slice of bread. He called this "eggy bread". Yeah right it is.

I use slightly stale brioche bread, egg, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon then serve with some maple syrup and some fruit compote for a sweet version.

We called the fried version "Gypsy toast" though some of our extended family did know it as French toast. I've not had french toast since my childhood - looks like I'm going to have to have a trip down nostalgia street soon!

Yeah, well, I was just born, raised and lived my whole life here. What do I know. ::eye roll:: Seriously though, while we have regional variations up the wazoo, I would be stunned and amazed to be served savory French toast. I am curious to know of these shows you watch.

The tastiest way is, bread dipped in egg and cooked in a hot chip fryer. Is absolutely delicious. Sprinkle with sugar, or go with a savoury topping. Mmmmmmmm

I am a recent convert to eggy bread. By work colleague used to make it, and one Saturday I was home alone and decided to have a go. I just use eggs, a little milk and lashings of ground pepper. Fry until golden. Delicious.

Love eggy bread/french toast as a quick weekend breakfast. But it has to be savoury. Eggs, splash of milk, salt, pepper.
First time I ordered it in the US and it came dusted with icing sugar, it gave me the boak, and I couldn't eat anything else. |
