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.
