When it comes to french toast I have never really used a recipe, I have just whisked together a couple of eggs, some milk, a dash of nutmeg, and some sugar, then just soak each piece of bread and fry in the pan. I usually have maple syrup & butter with my french toast but you can have fresh or cooked fruit, icing sugar, fruit syrups anything you want really. I have heard in the US they even serve french toast with bacon and maple syrup (which you wouldn't do being vegetarian LOL) so really its up to you I don't think there are any hard and fast rules

Some poeple like to use different types of bread for french toast, ie sourdough (I don't really like this) or fruit loaf (quite nice).

I will have a dig for a good recipe and post here for you
