"We call bread fried in egg "French toast"

That's "Eggy-Bread" in these here parts of the Backwoods.

French Toast, I was informed by a chef I used to know, is a thick slice of bread toasted both sides, then split into two pieces of half the thickness so that one side is toasted and the other side is un-toasted. Which seems a complicated way of achieving what we achieved by the simple expedient of toasting thinner bread on one side only!
