That looks real good, did you bring enough for everyone? 
Is there a name for savory French toast? 
If i’m making some myself at home i tend to prefer making it with ingredients and spices that go towards savory, including parmesan cheese, rather than sweet since that suits my tastes better. I’ve never seen something like it on a menu, but i doubt it’s something of my own invention though.

Can also recommend the El Yucateco Caribbean sauce. Fruity!

I’ve found them in different places in the UK, but never this many (I’ve got about 6-7 of these).
Gotta be more available in the US.

A little sprinkle of sugar adds a caramelized crunch when it was fried in butter.
Cheers!

I’m also a savory-over-sweet guy. I made savory French toast a few weeks ago with leftover brioche buns, carmelized onions, some ham scraps, and sage. It was really nice.

That sounds great! I like savory over sweet usually, but when I make french toast it’s usually with nisu (Finnish sweet cardamom bread, braided loaf) because my mom brings it when she comes to visit specifically so I will make her french toast. Then I get to use the remainder for toasting at breakfast, and it’s maybe the world’s greatest toasting bread.
I’ve never made nisu because it’s widely available in parts of the UP and gets pushed on me regularly, but this recipe looks close to what we have up here if anyone is interested:

Very interesting! I’m sure I’ve had it before up in the UP, and probably as French toast in Grand Marais. It’s just been so long since I’ve been up there I don’t really remember details.
(I say “up” but I’m at about the same latitude here in Oregon, oddly enough.)
Cardamom is an underappreciated breakfast pasty flavor. There’s a bakery in Bend, Oregon called Sparrow that makes a cardamom cinnamon roll they call the ocean roll. People line up outside to make sure they get one before they run out.

I’ve never had cardamom in a breakfast pasty (usually ham, egg, cheese, potato, onion, black pepper), but I’ll try anything once, eh?

Sorry! That was a typo. I meant “pastry.” Bad typo when talking about UP food!

It was a fortuitous typo
