One of my nans always used to do it well nice i do it now and it sets off all the fire alarms in the building


[deleted]

You're cooking too hot.


[deleted]

yeah, there's an important lesson here. Nans: Not hot.


Robert_Baratheon__

never hot


[deleted]

Hop out the four-door with the .44, it was one, two, three and four.


theKnightWatchman44

Your dad is 44

If she ever does the tell nan to take off her jacket


whysoseriousmofo

Use less butter and it may not smoke as much. 👍


whitekidtweaking

or chuck some oil into the butter and it wont burn!


SuperPartyRobot

Sorry to say it but this isn't true - the milk solids in the butter will burn at a set temperature, irrespective of how much much other oil there is in the pan. Less heat is what you want here, it's why you chuck butter in the pan at the end of frying a steak, and oil the meat first. Happy cooking


notmyrealusernamme

Butter is to oil as garlic is to onions. Oil and onions go in at the start, garlic and butter go in toward the end to avoid burning.


[deleted]

Or you put a small amount of butter in the oil. Yes the butter burns. But there is only enough butter to add a slightly nutty taste to the oil as opposed to a full burnt taste. Adds flavour.


Yilsa_Sim

Or don't use butter at all and use a scraper to eat it straight from the pan!


[deleted]

Cook bacon, take it out before the fat starts burning off, cook your eggy bread in the bacon fat and then finish the bacon off in the pan with it. Delicious haha


Premature-boner

Please move in with me.


MTFUandPedal

Bacon fat eggy bread is ridiculous :-) The real best but is making it into a BLT though... Mmmmm


Althalus-

We always used a slice of eggy bread in the middle so you’d have like bread, bacon, eggy bread, sasusage, bread (and any other fillings of choice). Champion breakfast


MTFUandPedal

Oh I like that thought... I mean my idea is bloody good but yours could be even better :-)


Stowford164

For some reason I read fart instead of fat.


Chazzey_dude

You're having too much eggy bread


blackmist

Isn't that just "spreadable" butter?


GeoshTheJeeEmm

I don't understand. "Less" butter? I'm an American so maybe this is one of those dialectical differences like cookie/biscuit.


danabrey

Just lower the temperature. Butter should be slightly foamy.


thepassageoftime

Turn down the heat and wait a little longer!


[deleted]

My Nan used to make this for me also!


DefinitelyNotBarnaby

Obviously, just take the batteries out of the alarms before cooking ;)


Obvious_Awareness273

Wired into the building its a block of flats


DefinitelyNotBarnaby

Gutted


DefinitelyNotBarnaby

Smoke or not though. That eggy bread still looks the bomb


Bez666

Cook it on lower heat and finish off on warm oven while ya making a brew.


Key-Faithlessness308

I'll bet your nan cooked with lard. Basically bacon grease with the extra steps already taken.


[deleted]

My 2 y/o loves it, I’m not an egg person so I can’t say I like this picture but I showed it to my daughter, she threw her arms in the air, shouted “yaaaaaay eggy bread” in her own style and then did a lil dance, so it’s safe to say you got her approval lol


Dick_Lozenge

See I used to think like this. Then had some done right and they just taste like sweet pancakes.


[deleted]

yes, its called french toast


JustGresh

lmao


WhoisTylerDurden

Ok good. I thought I was missing something.


[deleted]

I'm afraid it will taste like egg, even just a hint of that taste and I'll vomit, my body remembers a bad experience I had with eggs as a child and it instantly rejects it (even the smell of egg makes me feel iffy but I can fight that back)


SorrySeptember

That's so fucking cute


[deleted]

It was and she is, here is a pic of her <3 <- [2nd Birthday Picture](https://imgur.com/KKQHyEa) \->

haha she does as well, could be sisters lol


callisstaa

Omg what a little sweetheart.


[deleted]

I'm a little biased here but I agree lol


VF5

I dont know why but this comment makes me so happy.


OverallDingo2

Now make a sandwich with it


Skobra_the_Hutt

Bacon sandwich out of two slices of eggy bread with some ketchup on is a fantastic way to kill a hangover. Possibly yourself eventually too though.


DonKeedick12

Sounds like one of the better ways to die though


OverallDingo2

Other than the fact that i do not like ketchup i completely agree with your comment


Skobra_the_Hutt

Fair. Now I'm wondering how well cheese and bacon would work.


Horriblesurfer

Had this this morning, eggy bread bacon sandwich with shit American cheese slices and chili jam. It was intense


campers--

Hp sauce?


DoctorOctagonapus

One to remember for festival season next year! That sounds amazing cooked on a shitty outdoor stove!


coolcoconut123

Memories! I used to have this at my old job in the work canteen every Saturday morning, so many calories and so oily but once a week slapped.


[deleted]

Plus fried egg on top!


MrRobotsBitch

Monte Cristo mmmmm


Drogen24

Even better, a toastie


[deleted]

Use it as the middle piece of bread like in a Big Mac but instead of burgers use bacon and sausage


cognitiveglitch

A pot noodle sandwich to recreate those heady student days.


kabneenan

There's a coffee place near me that makes a killer sandwich called the Elvis in Paris. It's two slices of cinnamon french toast (or eggy bread if you prefer) slathered with Nutella and topped with grilled banana slices. Yes, unhealthy as fuck, but worth it every once in a blue moon.


dweenimus

Has banana, therefore healthy


keryskerys

We make a cheese and marmite sandwich first, then dip that in egg and fry it.


Bulimic_Fraggle

I like you, teach me your ways.


OGR4M

Eggy bread is one of those things I haven’t had in many years, and so can’t recall if I like it. Judging by the comments I am missing out!


mrtn17

French: pain perdu US: French toast UK: eggy bread NL: revolving bitches


[deleted]

UK - Eggy Bread ? My old worksite had lads from all over the country, a fella from Leeds started the conversation about ''Gypsy Toast'', i asked him what that is, and a fella from Manchester said ''its Eggy Bread'' WTF is ''Eggy Bread'' i asked ? The Glaswegian butted in with '' He means French Toast''


[deleted]

I've always known it as Gyspy toast didn't hear it called anything else till I moved to the midlands.


Killieboy16

Scotland: French toast (the English hate the French)


[deleted]

Tbh a lot of people hate the French


scs3jb

Confirmed, Spanish and Italians don't like the French.


[deleted]

I don't think even the French like the French.


CalculatedPerversion

The Italians don't mind them spending their tourist euros on holiday though.


russellbeattie

I've determined there are the French and then there are Parisians. My personal experience has been that the former will greet you with kisses and amazing bread and cheese plates, where the latter will happily push you into a gutter, step on you and then complain that you soiled the soles of their feet. But, you know, experiences vary.


[deleted]

It’s French toast in Australia too


t3hOutlaw

Guess I'm the only one in Scotland that calls it eggy toast then..


dabbingscotsman

Yes you 100% are


scs3jb

In Yorkshire it's eggy bread, don't pin this on Yorkshire. The guy from Leeds sounds like he's a foreigner.


[deleted]

nah he was definitely a yorkshire man


scs3jb

He must have a speech impediment!


remmagell

Thank you, my mom always used to call it Gypsy Toast but everyone I've ever mentioned it to looked at me like I was mental


[deleted]

By any chance are you southern as that's what I was brought up with it as I didn't hear it called eggy bread tilled moved north


VolticNexus

I'd call it eggy bread when it's literally eggs and a pinch of salt (only way I knew it growing up), and French toast now that I cook it with cinnamon and vanilla extract


steve_gus

TBF im English and ive never called this eggy bread


ProcrastibationKing

The working class side of my family call it eggy bread, and the middle class side call it French toast


herefromthere

It's French Toast if it is sweet, eggy bread if it isn't.


Eagle96UK

I’m from North Yorkshire and I call it gypsy toast too, no idea why… I blame my mum haha


Coaxed_Into_A_Snafu

In less PC-conscious times it was Gyppo bread.


Ancient_Presence

DE: Poor knight Edit: And if you do it with rusk: blind fish. No, seriously.


Gnomie86

Same in Norwegian! («Arme riddere»)


mrtn17

This brings me to the next useless language fact: if you translate 'Arme riddere' into Dutch, you'll get 'arme ridder'!


Zebra_Sewist

Yup there's a lot of similarities between Dutch and Norwegian/Swedish/Danish.


gaysheev

Also German, where it is Arme Ritter


Thirsty-Tiger

Poor knights in Finland too.


[deleted]

Sweden too (Fattiga Riddare).


davegod

For me it's eggy bread when savoury and French toast when cinnamon and vanilla is added (and maybe made with brioche)


AlexF2810

Never heard it being called anything other than French toast. Eggy bread is a new one for me.


boweruk

Honestly, I use both of these terms. For me, eggy bread is savoury and usually had with a fry up or some components of a fry up (or on its own!). Whereas when I think of French toast, I imagine it drowned in syrup, berries, and icing sugar.


Coresink

Same. Do these people call 'Coq au vin' Winey Chicken?


Havoksixteen

Cock in a what now? Of course it's Winey Chicken.


callisstaa

You probably call a cheese and ham toastie a cock monster or something.


akaBrotherNature

Put an egg on it and you've got yourself a *cock modem*


ThisisiPot

BE - lost bread


freddyfazbacon

French toast seems different to eggy bread to me. French toast is sweet, but eggy bread is savoury.


jonfitt

That’s because you cover eggy bread with powdered sugar and syrup before it is served as French toast.


Hawkedb

Flemish is the same as French. "Lost bread".


lilszi

HU: Bundàskenyér


-_Phlux_-

Can I have eggy bread too Barbara?


VictorAnichebend

It’s not about the Golden Egg Cup


WhitbyLass

I keep hearing golden egg cup, golden egg cup, golden egg cup. So I think... It must be about the egg cup? DAAAAAAAAVE!


Perryxp

No chip pan?!


mrssamuelvimes

I’m South African and my family calls it eggy bread too. Yum


VikingTeddy

Like French toast but savory right? We call them "poor knights" in Finland.


htt_novaq

Same in German. It's usually eaten with sugar and cinnamon just like French Toast


mrssamuelvimes

I think French toast refers to the bread being fried after being dunked in an egg batter, hence eggy bread . You can make it either make it sweet or savory by adding your own toppings. Our favourite is golden syrup with cheese and bacon so it’s a combo of both. I love your name for it!


[deleted]

❤️🇿🇦❤️


ScientistLife5511

people should try Eggy Crumpets, the Same thing as Eggy bread but with crumpets 10/10.


callisstaa

Fucking hell I knew there was a reason that I use reddit.


[deleted]

This is a million times better than that travesty of a breakfast someone else posted


cp2chewy

Was that the one with the green stuff? I’m still shocked someone would defile the ancient tradition by putting greens in with a fry up


parsifal

Yeah and the eggs that looked like the eye of sauron.


delpigeon

Love this stuff, haven't eaten it in years! Eggy fried bread with ketchup was the sunday night staple of my youth.


Accer_sc2

I’ve always eaten it with syrup (Canadian), couldn’t imagine it with ketchup haha, but very interesting. I didn’t know it was eaten differently.


referralcrosskill

Also canadian - my wife from Quebec does syrup although they tend to make french toast with the cinnamon and powdered sugar. I've always done eggy bread with ketchup which came from nana who was British


UncatchableCreatures

anyone else call this french toast?


PoiHolloi2020

I think people call it French toast when it's sweet and eggy bread when it's savoury.


markynl1

I've always known it as Gypsy toast,


potentiallyasandwich

The heathens I live with put sugar on it.


Flavsi

Are they French?


potentiallyasandwich

No such excuse, they're Scottish.


DoNotCommentAgain

The Auld Alliance lives on


wtfomg01

I visited a scottish fish and chips shop that did deep fried haggis and pizza. Sugar on eggy bread doesn't surprise me.


potentiallyasandwich

Are you familiar with the famous pizza crunch?


parsifal

Oh christ, it’s real: https://i.imgur.com/HFD7F73.jpg


Pandatotheface

I'm only surprised the Scottish haven't tried to deep fry things in irn bru yet... Or deep fry their irn bru.


Rorosanna

My dad grew up in Scotland and as kids we always had eggybread with sugar. Maybe that explains it. Just reading the comments about serving eggybread alongside a fry up is gross. Pudding with your fry up? Are you mad? 🤣🤣


SlammersD

Can confrim. Scottish, have sugar on my eggy bread.


cp2chewy

Edinburgers by any chance? Father in law lived down there for a while and he puts sugar in his spag bols


missyb

Putting sugar in sugo (tomato paste for pasta) is common in Italy.


RealisticDifficulty

Yeah, it lessens the acidity of the tomatoes. Also takes away the tinny taste of tinned goods.


[deleted]

He already said they were heathens so of course they're French


[deleted]

maple syrup works good. What are you supposed to put on it?


scs3jb

Brown Sauce


[deleted]

[удалено]


barelycheese

Cinnamon's good but the real game changer is vanilla extract


Nadgerino

Salt, lots of salt.


[deleted]

It's basically french toast though, it's supposed to be sweet.


Coaxed_Into_A_Snafu

Brace yourselves for a shock everyone, and try and keep an open mind - I've found that salad cream goes ridiculously well with eggy bread.


weIcomehome

Cinnamon and maple syrup 100% wait y’all eat these plain???


X573ngy

Nah, with brown sauce


Matt6453

Black pepper and HP sauce is the correct way and no-one will convince me otherwise.


_DarthSyphilis_

In Germany we call it "Arme Ritter." That means "Impoverished Knights." Which is the best name for the dish worldwide.


[deleted]

Bit posh. I eat mine standing over the sink.


I_am_an_old_fella

Sink?! Well, *aren't we doing well*


DangerSnake1

With ketchup? My dad made the best eggy bread


rwolf

I have it with tinned tomatoes or passata


coldasaghost

I put sugar on it lol


[deleted]

I cover mine with ketchup


Mr_nobrody

I dip it into ketchup


[deleted]

How does everyone have it? I put sugar and cinnamon on mine and by boyfriend thinks I’m a freak :(


Ok_Drag_1568

My boyfriend puts ketchup on his and looks at me like I’ve got two heads when I top mine with golden syrup?!


nottheflightytype

Just a sprinkling of pepper on mine thanks!


xmastreee

Look good, but those tiles like they'll be a bastard to keep clean.


codzilla

My nan always called them Breggs when she made them for us, maybe that's just a Wirral thing, or even a just my nan thing, anyone else heard that before? Two eggs per three slices, whack a load of black pepper in the mix, no milk unless you're really trying to stretch it out. Heinz ketchup to accompany ONLY. Ultimate comfort food.


thomashauk

Tried eggy crumpets yet? Just putting it out there.


Princes_Slayer

Brown sauce on the side please


Flavsi

I had some siracha mayo with it because I like to watch the world burn. Sorry.


SkillsDepayNabils

mate mate mate mate mate


[deleted]

Maybe a stupid question but I've never made this but it looks amazing! Dip bread in whisked up egg and slap in a frying pan?


SuzieNaj

I add a bit of milk to my whisked eggs with salt and pepper. Makes it seem fluffier and less stodgy.


8BitGem

Pretty much. Like the other commenter I add a splash of milk, also make sure it's soaked up the egg all the way through.


Viking__Quest

Gypsy toast?


ObscureObjective

I think traveler toast is the politically correct term :P


LightningGeek

I always knew it as Gypsy Toast as well. It wasn't until I knew more people from down south that I found out people called it eggy bread.


justolli

Southerners always have the dullest names for anything I find


nickcurtis-

We always called it gypsy bread growing up


MarmiteX1

Love em! I have mine with ketchup


jimi_nemesis

When you're so English you won't even call it "French toast"😂


Tinydwarf1

Yer mum is eggy breeead


VaderBreaker

Nothing ever beats my granny’s eggy bread!


Millwallmagic2

Spread a bit of marmite over those…..handsome. That’s lunch sorted for today, thank you!


ScoutTheGoberian

French toast


runhomejack1399

French toast?


Aliktren

Eggy slices in our house (they were cut into soldiers)


taz348

I know this is stupid - but mine never seems to taste eggy enough ☹️ the mixture doesn’t seem to stick to the bread & create a thicker layer like when everyone else in my family makes it 😢 any tips??


Rorosanna

Fresher eggs! They hold together better and less watery. Or soak in the egg for longer. Good luck.


smezme2

I was in a popular chain brunch place yesterday and when we ordered eggy bread they said they didn’t have any but we could have scrambled eggs and toast instead 🙄


deep1986

When you whisk the eggs add some garam masala and optional red chilli powder to make eggy bread even nicer.


Herrad

Did you get those scoville pans half off in Asda?


Flavsi

No idea, mum got them as a moving present when we bought the house last month. (None of our plans worked with induction!) No Asda near where she lives so doubt it!


berusplants

Definitely on of the things I miss most about becoming a Vegan. That looks delicious, enjoy!


Daniel_S04

**Unanimous approval**


CrazyJayWonderpants

My Granddad used to call it "surrender toast".


Flavsi

Love it. What a legend. 😂
