French Toast is just a memory for me and so I will hang around and read all of the delicious answers.  I used to like it with butter, icing sugar and cinnamon.

I make it on occasion, I like it on Vienna bread.  I put eggs, milk and a little vanilla in the blender and make it fluffy and then dip the bread in and then bake it... Sprinkle some powdered sugar and maple syrup.   I learned this when I was in the boy scouts and they gave me kitchen duty for two weeks at camp because my parents was in the restaurant biz so they thought i belonged in the kitchen.. Blah!!  Kitchen duty means I had to go to bed earlier than everyone else and wake up at 3:30 AM and get to th mess hall and begin cooking, then lunch, then dinner/supper.. I never got to do any of the cool things everyone else did.

Nutmeg in the egg and milk mix and butter and maple syrup.

 First I toast the bread lightly (usually white bread, but whatever you like)
The lightly toasted bread is dredged in a mixture of milk, egg, and cinnamon. 
I fry the bread in butter, letting each side get a little crusty.
While the second side is frying, I put butter pats on top of the bread, so the butter melts while the bread is cooking.  It makes a "puddle".
Being careful not to spill out the butter puddle when I take the toast from the pan, I then sprinkle in confectioner's (powdered) sugar, letting it soak into the butter.  It's like frosting.  
Sometimes I'll put on a little pure maple syrup, but not too often. The sugar makes it so sweet.
When I am being health-conscious, and the way my children got it served to them, I'll put on sliced bananas and berries, and a spoonful of yogurt.  Skip the butter puddle. 

Edit:  I do add a little vanilla and nutmeg along with the cinnamon. Oops

My mom would make it and serve it on our plates. We would then smear it with jelly and roll it up "jelly roll" style and eat it......I never heard of putting syrup on it until adulthood.......

I've always just had it with salt and pepper and maybe bacon, but some of the sweet versions sound great, I absolutely love maple syrup......even on porridge (oatmeal to some)

Yummmm! 

I like it with syrup.

I like it with jam.

I like it with butter.

And a thin slice of ram.

Tommy, I would write a longer poem, but every new line double spaces. I had  too much breakfast pastry today and I'm feeling frumpy.

I just like mine with a sprinkle of plain ole white sugar on top...nothing else.

I'm also averse to cinnamon...I find the flavour much too overpowering. I will not eat apple pie (tart) that has cinnamon in it.
