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.

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.
