  • It’d be difficult to name a brunch food as well loved as French toast. This sweet, custardy, syrupy dish has been around for centuries in one form or another. Today, you can find variations of it all over the world, with toppings that range from honey to fresh fruit to peanut butter.
    When it comes down to it, though, French toast is a relatively simple dish: bread, eggs, milk, and sugar. So why is it so easy to mess up? Turns out, there’s a lot that can go wrong with this brunch favorite. These are the huge mistakes everyone makes when cooking French toast.

    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.

  • @tenzhitihsien888

    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.

  • @donnaduke8436

    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.

      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.
