In the United Kingdom it's usually savory and identified as “eggy bread” or “Gypsy toast” or “bread dipped in egg” in South East Wales. It is sometimes identified as “Poor Knights of Windsor”. An additional name occasionally employed is “French fried bread” but this should not be confused with “fried bread”, which is white bread fried in butter or fat left over from frying bacon or sausages. Sometimes it's served with ketchup. One variation has marmite spread on the bread before dipping. In Scotland it's also served with sliced sausages, served like a sandwich.
In India, the version is salted rather than sweet. The egg is beaten with milk, salt, green chili and chopped onion. Bread is dunked into this mixture and is deep fried in butter or cooking oil. It is normally served with ketchup. In Sri Lanka and Burma, it's identified as Bombay Toast.
