Is it “French Toast” or “Egg Bread”?
Apr 21, 2021, 9:08 AM

For me growing up it was egg bread. I didn’t know it was actually called French toast until around age 10. Has anyone else heard it called “egg bread” ? I often wonder because when I say it people look at me kinda like I look at them when they ask for a pop

I was born in South Carolina, raised for 9 years in Alabama, then returned to South Carolina.
Are you from another region of the country?

I too was born here in SC. Only lived one other place and that was Birmingham AL as an adult. I’ve just always wondered if it was just a name my grandma made up for it or if people actually call it egg bread.

Never heard of Egg Bread either. As for the pop, when a northerner asks me if I want a pop, I say no. I already have one but I call him Dad.

Born in Georgia and raised in South Carolina -Never heard of "egg bread" and we never had french toast - we had ""Ho-Cakes"" ( another name for a large biscuit ) -- made a hole with your knuckle and poured on some ""Grandma's Molasses"" -- leftover biscuits were buttered & toasted,the next morning for breakfast __________________GO TIGERS !!!!

The large biscuits were known as "Cathead" biscuits. Make a hole in the middle of the biscuit and fill with real butter and your syrup of choice.
My wife nd I were in San Francisco and decided to have breakfast at a restaurant near our hotel that advertised their hot cakes as "The best in the West". The waitress came to take our order and I decided I would take the short stack since I was having a couple of other items. When our order arrived, there were two hot cakes on a huge platter and the hot cakes were the size of the platter. The melted butter and syrup would run off the platter onto the table if I placed them on top of the hot cakes. So, I dug a hole in the middle of the hot cakes and filled the hole with butter and syrup. As I ate my way from the center of the hot cakes to the sides, I added butter and syrup when needed. Needless to say, I could not eat all of that "short stack". Those were the largest hot cakes I've ever seen in a restaurant.

In Cope, SC my grandmother called it egg bread. My wife grew up in the "city" of Orangeburg and her family ate French toast.

Morning breakfast. It was French toast when you had it in a restaurant with the powdered sugar.

and two kinds of gravy - "sawmill" (the usual white kind) and "redeye" (ham/fatback drippings & coffee).

Eggy Bread is a savory dish while French toast is sweet

Skip the salt and pepper... Add a couple of pinches of powdered sugar to each before serving.
Just use Half-n-Half...
