According to the Canadian Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education:
How long can we keep eggs that are past their expiry date?
- According to the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, the Best Before date on the egg carton is an indication of the length of time for which the eggs will maintain their Grade A quality. After this date, they are still safe to eat for the next two weeks if they have been properly stored in the fridge and safely handled. They will not maintain their shape as well however, so are better for scrambling and baking rather than frying and poaching.

- Ok, so I figured it was only two days after that two weeks after the Best Before date. So I went ahead and made French toast. By the way, I learned that if the French toast is still soggy and not browning correctly, turn up the heat on the stove. And real maple syrup is key!
- When an egg floats it means that it is an old egg. The air cell in the large end of the egg has grown very large, an indication of a low quality egg. A fresh, high quality egg will remain at the bottom of the pan of water.

And on a related note, it seems I wasn't off when I told someone that "French toast" is called "pain perdu" in France, which means lost bread. However, in the movie Bon Cop, Bad Cop some French-Canadians referred to French toast as something else. Does anyone know what French toast is called in Quebec?

It's called "pain d'or" (golden bread) in Quebec.
