I don't think it's anything to do with being common.

My parents always called it French Toast, no idea why.

Eggy bread. Because it isn't toast by any strech of the imagination.

Eggy bread. French toast is an Americanism.

how do you actually do eggybread?

Report

dip slices of bread in beaten eggs, then fry in butter or oil. Season with salt or sugar depending if you want it sweet or savoury.

It's cooked bread though, so I guess that might be where the toast bit comes from?
