It is nicer soaked in the egg/milk mixture.

French toast, but was taught how to make by an american.

Eggy bread. And I add a dash of milk and leave the bread to soak for a while before frying in butter.

fucksticks · 02/06/2009 20:59

never had it
WILL try it tomorrow

French toast here, don't know why. It doesn't strike me as a particularly Gallic recipe. Much better made with stale bread, the fresh bread I used yesterday went all dough-ey.

Eggy bread, exactly the way cies describes it. Yum yum.... the children love it.

BCNS · 02/06/2009 21:01

neither.. it is of course inside out egg sandwiches! cos they are inside out!

no milk here

French toast in our house was always bread buttered before toasting under the grill.

I never had eggy bread unil a friend made it for me at university.

French toast

Nigella did a FANTASTIC version of this a few months back, she said it tasted like donuts mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I want a donut now.

French Toast (but I'm American). Never heard it called eggy bread until just this minute.

DH (English) said 'either', but qualified that with 'eggy bread for kids, French Toast for grownups'.

I always found it too sweet anyway (the way Americans have it with powdered sugar and syrup), so haven't had it in at least 20 years.

Er depends on what it is - eggy bread (for me) is a marmite sandwich dipped in egg and fried. I think of French toast as sweet and cinnamony.

french toast unless camping - then it's eggy bread. And blackbirds are blackcurrant jam sandwiches made into eggy bread....yum!

JackBauer · 02/06/2009 21:36

eggy bread, always.
And either sweet with sugar/cinnamon or maple syrup or with mushrooms and ketchup.

annoyingdevil · 02/06/2009 21:37
