French toast in the US at least is made with beaten eggs, milk (to
thin out the eggs), sugar, and some people like to add cinnamon or
flavoring to the batter. Stale bread is usually used (a good quality
brioche is nice.. or any type of bread that tends toward the sweet
side and has a fine but firm structure). However, a lot of people who
aren't into food will just use any plain white bread they have laying
around, even commercial stuff.  It's eaten a lot like pancakes are --
doused with syrup.
