What is it? A slice of white bread?
It's rather yellow so an enriched bread? Egg yolks will do that, so is "French Toast" suggesting that egg has been added somewhere (since the traditional custard bread would be dipped in for French toast contains egg?)
I've also seen "French Toast Bagels" before which are basically a richer, sweetened/vanilla/maple flavored bagel. Maybe they were going for a similar "French Toast" flavored slice of enriched bread?
God, I've already put far more thought into this than I should have.
Edit FUCK! BUT WHY THE PIZZA?!?!?!?
I suspect that the "american style" means there is no custard, it's a slice of bread soaked in scrambled egg with some cinnamon, then pan-fried. In that case, it's likely just a piece of bread with egg and cinnamon.
American style French toast is scrambled egg and some form of cream or milk and vanilla, which is basically a custard.
Just egg by itself would be super gross I suspect.
it's not horrible, but it needs salt. It becomes savory.
I can’t tell if you’ve totally understood what I meant or are trying to make a joke. For the record I meant egg soaked bread with no sugar or cream would probably be really gross. I do eat plain eggs, but this would be the first time that I’ve heard about savory French toast if that’s what you meant.
It would be like me to make a joke of it, but this one was real.
My 6yo woke me up at 5am after i went to sleep at 3am, demanded french toast.
I made it with one eye open. The first batch was without milk/cream/sugar. Not to be one to waste food, I made a second batch for him with all the right stuff and tried to see if I could recover the first batch enough I could eat it.
I had 5 or 6 cooked slices to work worth, tried various things to add sweet including powered sugar and syrup, but somehow the eggy bite was just alternated with violent sweetness. Not great.
The second slice, I tried rubbing with fresh basil and dusting with fine salt, that turned out ok.
The third slice I used everything bagel seasoning and that was pretty banging. The savor didn't seem to suffer with a lack of mixing like the sweet stuff did.
Savory French toast isn't amazing, but honestly it wasn't awful. I probably wouldn't make it again unless i screwed up.
I did try panco breading some recently after the soak, then deep-frying, which wasn't half bad.
custard means you temper the egg in warm milk or cream, I've never seen french toast done with an actual custard in Canada outside of nicer restaurants.
We do also add something sweet for serving, usually some combination of syrup, icing sugar, fruit, whipped cream, etc.
I think we might be splitting hairs on what counts as a custard at this point. But I suppose as a Canadian you are slightly more French adjacent than I am.
Yeah, I’ve never seen French toast served dry. Personally I like to add peanut butter as well as syrup.
I think it’s also flavored like American style pizza.
Especially in light of the Kudopan/British flag version below.
