    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.
