Best French toast recipes?

What are your best recipes for French toast?

I've been craving golden sweet French toast with sugar, cinnamon, honey and berries, but want to find a good tried and tested recipe without too much of an 'eggy' taste iyswim!

TIA

Hmm - I just dredge a goodly 'wodge' (probably about half an inch thick) of decent, one or two day(s) old, white loaf in egg/milk/cinnamon/nutmeg/ground black pepper (dash of) mix, chuck on pan, do both sides, then add flaked almonds and brown sugar and finish off under the grill. To be eaten with strawberries, bacon and maple syrup.

Moonlight, sounds great! Why does the bread need to be a day old?

I add some vanilla in the whipped eggs, milk, cinnamon mixture...

I am in love with Café Rouge French toast but have never been able to recreate it at home, DS2 (also a fan) has not been impressed by my efforts.

Try it fried in bacon fat with a couple of rashers of bacon - yum!

Also nice with marmite, and chocolate spread (though not both at the same time!)

Whenever we do sleepovers at Brownies we get through severall loaves of bread's worth of eggy bread - they can't get enough of it!

I have started skipping adding milk to mine. It makes it much nicer and less fried eggish. I don?t know why. So I beat eggs with a generous splash of cinnamon. Soak the bread for about 20 seconds each side, then fry. We put syrup on ours but I keep meaning to try caramalised bananas.

Use brioche instead of bread, dip in whisked eggs, nothing else. Don't soak for too long. Fry in butter. Pile on fruit and yogurt. Eat. Repeat until you feel sick

You are all weird. French toast is a savoury experience - dunk day old plastic bread in beaten eggs, no milk, fry in very hot oil till brown, put on a ridiculous amount of salt and serve with tomato ketchup.

That's my lunch sorted.

Wilson, is that not eggy bread, rather than French toast?

Wellll, my GF who used to make it for me always called it French toast, but then he was a Fife miner with a distrust of citrus fruit and a penchant for pouring lard over his potatoes, so who knows?

Eggy bread = French toast. They are one and the same thing. Aren't they?

French toast to me, is sweeter, icing sugar, cinnamon sugar, pecans, etc.etc.etc....yes, and the basic eggy bread...

I make eggy bread by mixing eggs, a little milk and - get this! - a teaspoonful of vegetable stock powder.
I sometimes add a bit of garlic puree as well.
or sprinkle grated cheese on top while pipng hot.

I eat them with mayo and tomatoes or gherkins

I've never eaten French toast....

I think eggy bread swings both ways, ie sweet or savoury. I have it with grated cheese and bacon. DD adds syrup and bananas.
