AIBU to think that DH is wrong about eggy bread?

[Yambabe]

He likes it savoury, with beans and maybe a bit of bacon.

Now OK I will allow that bacon goes with everything but I like mine like the americans have it, with a sprinkle of cinnamon, maple syrup and a dash of cream.

Also I am cooking it so it comes how I serve it!

I am right and he is wrong, right?

We always had it with sugar and a squirt of jif lemon juice as kids.

I actually couldn't believe it at guide camp when some of my pals put ketchup on theirs!

YABU.

He should leave your weird controlling self. He's right. or maybe you could do both.

Eggy bread = savoury
French toast = sweet

YABVU. It should be used as part of a fry up sandwich and lined with cheese whenever possible. Sweet versions are ok I suppose but to say the savory way is wrong is just foolish speak!

Got to be made with brown bread & with ketchup on the side. And it's called Egg Fingers in our house.

Savoury - no mater what seasoning - but it MUST be savoury.

So, sorry OP, but you are wrong & it's a case of LTB (Leave the bitch) for your DH - who is 100% right.

Always savoury. Only recently heard of sweet
I'm also confused about cheese in the middle? I do cheese on a single slice of bread.

French toast is sweet. poor dh.

Well the Americans where I live (in California) have it with maple syrup (or similar) and bacon.

Savoury for me and now I fancy some !!

Surely you put a little milk into the egg. It would be too eggy without milk.

And with lashings and lashings of tomato sauce. might try it with cheese

Sweet here, cinnamon and vanilla sugar, I like it made with fruit loaf too.

Eggy bread always comes salted... perhaps with some crispy bacon...

YY to what others have said. French toast is the sweet stuff.

My mate marmite.
tempted by the sweet though.

French toast is only superficially similar to eggy bread/eggy fingers. Eggy fingers is a much drier dish, sandwich bread cut into fingers and dipped into beaten egg and fried. French toast is challa/brioche slices soaked in an egg/milk/sugar and spice mix and fried.

To me eggy fingers is a nursery tea time food while French toast is decadent brunch.

French toast the old style Hong Kong cafe way is with butter and condensed milk.

Savoury is just wrong wrong wrong in my head!

Seems we are pretty much an even split!

But better than that I now have some new recipe ideas to test - liking the idea of both the mozarella en carozza and the jam sandwich varieties........ [drool]

I always call it eggy bread cos that's what we called it when DS was little. My mum always called it french toast but she was a bit fraightfully naice at times (and she used to do it as part of a fry-up, which seems to be wrong on all counts!)

Eggy bread with cheese in the middle has opened my eyes to a while me world!

Fried in butter and served with ketchup here.

I'm going to have to have it for breakfast now.

Well at past midnight I cooked myself a savoury and sweet plate of eggy bread to munch through - glorious!

Bacon & eggy bread: Savoury of course, old style like my mum used to make :) beaten egg & milk plus salt. Used to be part of a fry up but my midnight feast didn't run to fried mushrooms, tomatoes and sausages! So more-ish... Yummmm, the savoury eggy bread must not die!!!

Then eggy bread with fried slices of banana, and drizzle of maple syrup... And a wonderful middle bit of the plate where everything mixed in, yummy yummy :)

I wish I'd had some mozzarella and then I would try the cheese sandwich style...

YABVVVVVU... eggy bread is always savoury.

If I order eggy bread in a restaurant, what would I get?

I thought it was always sweet... never heard of such goings on as ketchup and brown sauce and cheese before now.

YABU. Savoury all the way.

Never thought to do it differently.

But that's maybe because I'm British and have never been to America.

Savoury for the kids, while I secretly sprinkle sugar on their leftovers and scoff it with my back turned!

Bacon and maple syrup. And possibly fruit salad.
