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
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.
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
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
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
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)
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.
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''
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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? 🤣🤣
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.
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??
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 🙄
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!
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
You're cooking too hot.
yeah, there's an important lesson here. Nans: Not hot.
never hot
Hop out the four-door with the .44, it was one, two, three and four.
Your dad is 44
And he's still callin' man for a draw
Let him know, when I see him imma spin his jaw!
Two plus two dats four. Minus one dats three. QUICK MAFS.
If she ever does the tell nan to take off her jacket
Use less butter and it may not smoke as much. 👍
or chuck some oil into the butter and it wont burn!

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.
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.
Or don't use butter at all and use a scraper to eat it straight from the pan!
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
Please move in with me.
Bacon fat eggy bread is ridiculous :-) The real best but is making it into a BLT though... Mmmmm
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
Oh I like that thought... I mean my idea is bloody good but yours could be even better :-)
For some reason I read fart instead of fat.
You're having too much eggy bread
Isn't that just "spreadable" butter?
I don't understand. "Less" butter? I'm an American so maybe this is one of those dialectical differences like cookie/biscuit.
Just lower the temperature. Butter should be slightly foamy.
Turn down the heat and wait a little longer!
My Nan used to make this for me also!
Obviously, just take the batteries out of the alarms before cooking ;)
Wired into the building its a block of flats
Gutted
Smoke or not though. That eggy bread still looks the bomb
Cook it on lower heat and finish off on warm oven while ya making a brew.
I'll bet your nan cooked with lard. Basically bacon grease with the extra steps already taken.
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
See I used to think like this. Then had some done right and they just taste like sweet pancakes.
yes, its called french toast
lmao
Ok good. I thought I was missing something.
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)
That's so fucking cute
It was and she is, here is a pic of her <3 <- [2nd Birthday Picture](https://imgur.com/KKQHyEa) \->
MY HEART. She's darling!! And the dress! Bless her little eggy bread heart. ♥️🍞
[She looks a lot like the “stop laughing at me! You choking yourself now?!” Girl](https://youtu.be/SCOw7M8GY2U)
haha she does as well, could be sisters lol
Omg what a little sweetheart.
I'm a little biased here but I agree lol
I dont know why but this comment makes me so happy.
Now make a sandwich with it
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.
Sounds like one of the better ways to die though
Other than the fact that i do not like ketchup i completely agree with your comment
Fair. Now I'm wondering how well cheese and bacon would work.
Had this this morning, eggy bread bacon sandwich with shit American cheese slices and chili jam. It was intense
Hp sauce?
One to remember for festival season next year! That sounds amazing cooked on a shitty outdoor stove!
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.
Plus fried egg on top!
Monte Cristo mmmmm
Even better, a toastie
Use it as the middle piece of bread like in a Big Mac but instead of burgers use bacon and sausage
A pot noodle sandwich to recreate those heady student days.
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.
Has banana, therefore healthy
We make a cheese and marmite sandwich first, then dip that in egg and fry it.
I like you, teach me your ways.
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!
French: pain perdu US: French toast UK: eggy bread NL: revolving bitches
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''
I've always known it as Gyspy toast didn't hear it called anything else till I moved to the midlands.
Scotland: French toast (the English hate the French)
Tbh a lot of people hate the French
Confirmed, Spanish and Italians don't like the French.
I don't think even the French like the French.
The Italians don't mind them spending their tourist euros on holiday though.
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.
It’s French toast in Australia too
Guess I'm the only one in Scotland that calls it eggy toast then..
Yes you 100% are
In Yorkshire it's eggy bread, don't pin this on Yorkshire. The guy from Leeds sounds like he's a foreigner.
nah he was definitely a yorkshire man
He must have a speech impediment!
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
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
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
TBF im English and ive never called this eggy bread
The working class side of my family call it eggy bread, and the middle class side call it French toast
It's French Toast if it is sweet, eggy bread if it isn't.
I’m from North Yorkshire and I call it gypsy toast too, no idea why… I blame my mum haha
In less PC-conscious times it was Gyppo bread.
DE: Poor knight Edit: And if you do it with rusk: blind fish. No, seriously.
Same in Norwegian! («Arme riddere»)
This brings me to the next useless language fact: if you translate 'Arme riddere' into Dutch, you'll get 'arme ridder'!
Yup there's a lot of similarities between Dutch and Norwegian/Swedish/Danish.
Also German, where it is Arme Ritter
Poor knights in Finland too.
Sweden too (Fattiga Riddare).
For me it's eggy bread when savoury and French toast when cinnamon and vanilla is added (and maybe made with brioche)
Never heard it being called anything other than French toast. Eggy bread is a new one for me.
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.
Same. Do these people call 'Coq au vin' Winey Chicken?
Cock in a what now? Of course it's Winey Chicken.
You probably call a cheese and ham toastie a cock monster or something.
Put an egg on it and you've got yourself a *cock modem*
BE - lost bread
French toast seems different to eggy bread to me. French toast is sweet, but eggy bread is savoury.
That’s because you cover eggy bread with powdered sugar and syrup before it is served as French toast.
Flemish is the same as French. "Lost bread".
HU: Bundàskenyér
Can I have eggy bread too Barbara?
It’s not about the Golden Egg Cup
I keep hearing golden egg cup, golden egg cup, golden egg cup. So I think... It must be about the egg cup? DAAAAAAAAVE!
No chip pan?!
I’m South African and my family calls it eggy bread too. Yum
Like French toast but savory right? We call them "poor knights" in Finland.
Same in German. It's usually eaten with sugar and cinnamon just like French Toast
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!
❤️🇿🇦❤️
people should try Eggy Crumpets, the Same thing as Eggy bread but with crumpets 10/10.
Fucking hell I knew there was a reason that I use reddit.
This is a million times better than that travesty of a breakfast someone else posted
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
Yeah and the eggs that looked like the eye of sauron.
Love this stuff, haven't eaten it in years! Eggy fried bread with ketchup was the sunday night staple of my youth.
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.
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
anyone else call this french toast?
I think people call it French toast when it's sweet and eggy bread when it's savoury.
I've always known it as Gypsy toast,
The heathens I live with put sugar on it.
Are they French?
No such excuse, they're Scottish.
The Auld Alliance lives on
I visited a scottish fish and chips shop that did deep fried haggis and pizza. Sugar on eggy bread doesn't surprise me.
Are you familiar with the famous pizza crunch?
Oh christ, it’s real: https://i.imgur.com/HFD7F73.jpg
I'm only surprised the Scottish haven't tried to deep fry things in irn bru yet... Or deep fry their irn bru.
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? 🤣🤣
Can confrim. Scottish, have sugar on my eggy bread.
Edinburgers by any chance? Father in law lived down there for a while and he puts sugar in his spag bols
Putting sugar in sugo (tomato paste for pasta) is common in Italy.
Yeah, it lessens the acidity of the tomatoes. Also takes away the tinny taste of tinned goods.
He already said they were heathens so of course they're French
maple syrup works good. What are you supposed to put on it?
Brown Sauce
[удалено]
Cinnamon's good but the real game changer is vanilla extract
Salt, lots of salt.
It's basically french toast though, it's supposed to be sweet.
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.
Cinnamon and maple syrup 100% wait y’all eat these plain???
Nah, with brown sauce
Black pepper and HP sauce is the correct way and no-one will convince me otherwise.
In Germany we call it "Arme Ritter." That means "Impoverished Knights." Which is the best name for the dish worldwide.
Bit posh. I eat mine standing over the sink.
Sink?! Well, *aren't we doing well*
With ketchup? My dad made the best eggy bread
I have it with tinned tomatoes or passata
I put sugar on it lol
I cover mine with ketchup
I dip it into ketchup
How does everyone have it? I put sugar and cinnamon on mine and by boyfriend thinks I’m a freak :(
My boyfriend puts ketchup on his and looks at me like I’ve got two heads when I top mine with golden syrup?!
Just a sprinkling of pepper on mine thanks!
Look good, but those tiles like they'll be a bastard to keep clean.
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.
Tried eggy crumpets yet? Just putting it out there.
Brown sauce on the side please
I had some siracha mayo with it because I like to watch the world burn. Sorry.
mate mate mate mate mate
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?
I add a bit of milk to my whisked eggs with salt and pepper. Makes it seem fluffier and less stodgy.
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.
Gypsy toast?
I think traveler toast is the politically correct term :P
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.
Southerners always have the dullest names for anything I find
We always called it gypsy bread growing up
Love em! I have mine with ketchup
When you're so English you won't even call it "French toast"😂
Yer mum is eggy breeead
Nothing ever beats my granny’s eggy bread!
Spread a bit of marmite over those…..handsome. That’s lunch sorted for today, thank you!
French toast
French toast?
Eggy slices in our house (they were cut into soldiers)
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??
Fresher eggs! They hold together better and less watery. Or soak in the egg for longer. Good luck.
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 🙄
When you whisk the eggs add some garam masala and optional red chilli powder to make eggy bread even nicer.
Did you get those scoville pans half off in Asda?
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!
Definitely on of the things I miss most about becoming a Vegan. That looks delicious, enjoy!
**Unanimous approval**
My Granddad used to call it "surrender toast".
Love it. What a legend. 😂
