What's your best tip for cooking French toast?
We egg whites
Toasted brioche, soak in scrambled egg, and put in a frying pan with butter/veg oil. Comes out delicious
I soak it in vodka for 24 hours. Then throw out the bread and drink the vodka. Then repeat. Then AA group meetings.
Naughty boy, you're wasting bread.
I use white sliced bread and egg milk and cinnamon mix and soak the bread for a couple of seconds and then cook and that’s fine I’ve had no complaints
I have a salt shaker with a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Texas toast, eggs, half n half, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and dark brown sugar. Cook on stove top but keep warm in low oven
No sugar no spices no vanilla just milk and egg……..try it.
@@GeminieCricket PRISON FOOD 🤢🤢🤢
I have never eaten sweetened French toast. And I never will. I use whatever bread I have on hand. I use eggs from the fridge. I never top the cooked toast with anything sweet. No one has ever complained about it.
Awesome 👌🏾👌🏾
Love, Love, Love
One strategy is to separate the yolk from the white and use only the yolk. The white can then be used to make scrambled egg white. If you've ever experienced a slightly 'sulfuric' smell or taste with French Toast, that came from the egg white.
ALSO: DO NOT use sliced sandwich bread, use a Brioche or Challah bread, slice, let sit and get hard \ dry overnight, or even longer. Lastly, don't eat for Breakfast, too caloric, eat for lunch or as afternoon snack, as as a Personal Trainer I can't get onboard with that much sugar to begin your day.
I use “JUst” egg substitute adding vanilla almond milk and cinnamon to make the batter. Dave’s killer white bread, Miyoko’s vegan butter, and Pyure maple syrup. Makes a delicious, low calorie, vegan French toast. Add some beyond sausage mock meat and you’ve got a great breakfast.
I have to laugh at all these videos about “French” toast. When we moved to France when I was a kid, the first morning we went to a restaurant in Paris and tried to order “French” toast. The head chef came out for us to explain what we meant. my dad is fluent in French and explained it to the chef. He was appalled and exclaimed that no Frenchman would ever eat this stuff and that it is definitely not a French creation. kinda like French fries, not native French but Dutch..
Of course it is French . It is just not everyone know it is called like this in English . We call it Pain perdu. A variation with brioche called brioche perdue is also popular. Oh and no one has it for breakfast in the morning but as a dessert or a treat for the French equivalent of tea time . Moreover you said French fries are not French but Dutch . No they are not . They are either French or Belgian. Most French people believe they are Belgians cause indeed they make them best and is considered a national dish there but it was actually first created in France.
So I always thought that French fries had to be like an American abomination of some French cultural food, but when I went to France, they served them with like every meal.
"Let's get some fucking French Toast."
Avenue Bread in Bellingham comes to mind!
No sugar and over saturate it. Cook till extra crispy
The biggest mistake about making French toast is that you should have just made pancakes
Custard, schmustard. The best French toast is made by dipping the bread first in the dairy (I prefer heavy cream) with added flavoring like cinnamon and vanilla, and then dipping it separately in the eggs.
Why do people put sugar in French toast or pan cakes? You are going to put syrup on it anyway. No need to add it.
It’s really not for the sweet, the sugar caramelizes and helps get that nice crispy brown.
I don’t use syrup. Is terrible for you. I do eat French toast tho. I can give you a recipe for healthy and delicious French toast if you want
I like savory French toast with grilled beef and cheese
11:05 I use a pan if it's just for me.
French toasts, when prepare it don’t over do it in the liquid , and in the pan don’t over do it with browning the toasts.
Oh my god this world is really sad if you have to get instructions on how to make French toast
They complicate an easy recipe.
Yeah, I was so confused by this.... it's a simple recipe with a couple ingredients and if you don't know that you're supposed to heat a pan before frying stuff then you prob should stay away from a stove. I had to stop the video after this bit of wisdom....lol
So I "shant" give you MY recipe for French Toast. All I can say is you MUST be at least 21 yrs. & NOT be on a diet. I bring it to work on National French Toast Day. Yeah! I also have a special Maple Syrup I use. It may be even "illegal" to serve in some states. LOL! I have lots of request for it as well.
Sounds suspiciously "edible"
I think the anabolic French toast ticks all the boxes
I toast mine on medium before dunking in the egg mixture. It's milk, egg and vanilla.
French toast is difficult to make???? I was taught as a kid. It's super easy and I can use regular sandwich bread.
I ALWAYS hate restaurants version.
Another thing I can't wrap my head around... Apparently it's hard to make all types of eggs to order! Ah, what?
I had a wtf moment about how hard it is to make eggs or French toast. I was taught how to cook at the age of 4. I wish more people learned their kitchens are supposed to be used to cook food not store your take out menus

My grandma taught me in the 70's while in town babysitting me when I was considered too young to take family vacations, riding horses etc.
And what amazes me... Most people don't know how to make the best scrambled eggs EVER! How my grandma taught me. Everyone is baffled and feel cheated in life didn't know sooner .
@@shac9131 I was taught by a friend of the family, she was in her 80's and from Missouri so I learned all sorts of southern dishes and the secret to the best biscuits (I'll give you a hint, it's fresh rendered lard)
@@hellhound1389
OMG. Nobody ever asked my great grandma who made her homemade rolls for the whole subdivision for Xmas in Virginia, as gifts, and made for us visiting while in town.
It was to die for! And here I know my grandma knew, died decades later... Everyone kicked our own butts for never getting that recipe before they died!!
And lard makes sense. I thought this before that must've been added.
Lard gets such a bad rap when in fact it contains the most vitamin D found on earth next to the sun exposure and butter comes right behind lard!
I love lard added to refried pinto beans.

PS
I'm a Yankee. I've always been a horrible cook beside a few things until I moved to the Smokey Mountains and I was basically forced to learn how to cook. Few restaurants and snowed in.
I developed an art with southern cooking on a number of dishes. What I discovered... Yankees are missing out!!
Put a little cinnamon and nutmeg in the custard.
Honestly I hate french toast. That's all I would get as a kid if I didn't want cereal.
So its sweet eggy bread basically with vanilla.
according to who ???
This channel is very opionated.There is no other way but their's. I disagree with alot of what they say.
It's just bread dipped in egg. Why overcomplicate things?
Just like with all things, it's fun to make them complicated and advanced
Milk and egg
@@GeminieCricket you could do just eggs, would probably be even better maybe
I toast my bread in a toaster, soak for a bit in scrambled egg, and fry in butter and it is the best! No need to make it complicated… I agree!
