To say Eggy Bread is a savoury food stuff

[PlayOnWurtz]

One of my dc has been corrupted by a friend and is insisting it's a sweet food stuff.

Not under my roof kiddo!

Sweet here. We call it 'poor knights' and you turn it into 'rich knights' if you serve it with whipped cream and jam

Savoury with salt and pepper. Fried mushrooms on the side sounds nice.

French toast is savoury in this house. Served up as part of a fry up drool 🐷

Standard argument in my house. The kids and I having eaten it many times at scout/guide camps for breakfast with bacon and sauce/ketchup would say savory, but DH puts icing sugar on his!

Eggy Bread? Do you mean French Toast or is eggy bread different? French Toast is a sweet food, served with whipped unsalted butter and maple syrup.

I make it with brioche loaf, call it French toast and have it with fruit and maple syrup so definitely sweet here!

Either.

To me, French toast is a bit of an American thing. It's indisputably sweet as it's made with sugar and cinnamon as well as bread and eggs. I'd eat it for breakfast with fruit.

Eggs bread is definitely British - something my grandma would have known. It only has two ingredients (the obvious ones). I think of it as a savoury dish and always eat it with ketchup. I don't need anything else with it, but some bacon would be a good addition.

Sweet here.

It's designed to be both!
Eggy bread, bacon, ketchup and maple syrup mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I always make two slices, 1 with salt and 1 with sugar, sometimes a few bites have sugar and salt

We always have it as savoury (with brown sauce and chipolatas for Saturday brunch). I have though made it sweet (using a brioche loaf) and adding maple syrup and strawberries when DD has a sleepover and I'm trying to impress (show off) to three 12 yesr olds.

Eggy bread is savoury.

Any sugary syrupy cinnamon type accompaniment turns it into something else.

Omlette with bacon yes.
Omlette with sugar no.

How have i never tried eggy bread with bacon?! makes weekend brunch plans

To the poster who mentioned 2 ingredients - what about the dash of whole milk?

Savoury: I add tabasco and Worcester Sauce to my mix!

Will now be making this for dinner with bacon and beans

Sweet, with maple syrup and cinnamon. I haven't had it for ages and we have eggs in - I think that's my tea sorted...

I accept it can be savoury though. I just prefer it sweet.

My favourite comfort food - always with marmite def savoury!!

I'm bi-eggy bread.

Sweet here with honey or maple syrup.

Eggy bread is my lunch of choice here ATM

With thinly spread marmite

Oh sorry forgot savoury here too

Savoury, with bacon. And HP if I'm lucky.

Eggy bread is savoury but French Toast is sweet. Both are made in the same way AFAIK
