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.
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.
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.
What is it? A slice of white bread?
What is more western food than bread with cheese?
McDonald’s

Edit FUCK! BUT WHY THE PIZZA?!?!?!?

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.

I think it’s also flavored like American style pizza.
Especially in light of the Kudopan/British flag version below.
