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?

Yuk yuk yuk to most of these suggestions.

Lots of salt and lots of brown sauce here.

Never heard of savoury eggy bread! Ever.

Like the sound of it though, don't particularly like the sweet ones, apart that they reminds me of my mum on rainy Sunday afternoons when I was little

Chasedbybees you are correct! At last someone sensible. Salt and brown sauce is the only way to go!

Those of you ridiculing sweet versions and saying that eggs are never sweet, what do you think real custard is made from?! Milk and eggs and sugar. And what do you think a real bread & butter pudding is?! Milk, eggs, sugar and bread. French toast is just an instant frying pan version of bread & butter pudding!

There is room in the world for both, i was just brought up savoury and DH was brought up sweet :o

YABU - nearly all of you!!

I think I've been put off as a child I can't bear fried bread either

Pepper and brown sauce but will now try it with bacon and maple syrup!

The very best way: Fry up 2 slices. spread one liberally with cream cheese and the other with orange marmalade (or other jam, but the marmalade is BEST) Press the 2 slices together so that the cream cheese and marmalade are both in the middle. Yum!!

Have had eggy bread for tea tonight, prompted by this thread.

It was quite delicious, and I ate 4 slices far too quickly, with fried tomatoes and hp sauce. I was going to have 2 savoury (like this) and then have 2 sweet for pudding, but couldn't stop devouring with brown sauce.

When lent is over, I shall try with bacon and maple syrup.

I find the ones made with sweet egg mix onto brioche really cloying. Then served with cream and syrups? Ugh! And I have a sweet tooth really I do :)
Wonder what you'd have to serve it with to cut through the sweet?

Savoury with lots of salt and pepper, never had it sweet although that sounds lovely too

Bread and butter pudding is also an abomination.

I'm American, I've never even heard of eating it savoury, however we call it French toast and I've discovered the best way to way it is to make it the day before, set it in the fridge overnight and use croissants instead of bread. Also, use half milk and half cream, instead of just milk.

I've looked at a few recipes though and I think French toast is made differently, we use a lot more milk. French toast is like equal parts milk and eggs, whereas eggy bread is mostly eggs with a splash of milk.

Savoury 100% didn't know others were not doing the same

Agree with Hugo - bread and butter pudding is grim.

Spread the bread with marmite, dip it in the beaten egg, fry in butter or coconut oil, preferably a bit crisp. Eat with ketchup or brown sauce if you want. Granny

Probably why Americans are marginally fatter than us! Savoury here but the sweet one sounds yummy too.

Just Marmite!!!!!!

Gawd JAC25 that sounds great :-)

Eggy bread, bacon, scrambled eggs, with maple syrup, food of ye gods. It just works.

Although Eggy bread cheese toasties are good too, with ketchup.

French toast is toasted on one-side.

Gypsy bread (or eggy bread as some call it?)

I love that I'm turning into an old fart :)

We had French toast for dinner last night as a direct result of this thread I'd mentioned it, DH decided to make it, and was all for savoury until I mentioned that there was bacon in the fridge and maple syrup in the cupboards... American breakfast for dinner, mmmm.

Thanks OP

Crispy bacon and maple syrup

I had to have eggy bread for breakfast, and it's all this thread's fault.
