This looks like a great way to have french toast. I grew up in a French Canadian home, and my mother added a little real maple syrup instead of brown sugar, but added cinnamon, and a little nutmeg in with the egg. With real maple syrup on top. What a way to start the day.
French Canadian here too :) I agree wth always using cinnamon, vanilla & maple syrup. Have you ever tried to use less milk but add a mashed ripe banana? Add extra nutmeg!- yum🤗
Grew up just south of Canada in upstate NY and you can’t beat pure maple syrup My mom used the cinnamon n nutmeg as well. I can’t do artificial “syrup”.
Dear Jean, MyGerman mother used to make this just like yours, so I know it's top of the line! Perfect to the ones who want the true French Toast! Not a speedy recipe or a fancy recipe. Just what us oldtimer Germans jumped out of bed for! Lookers, look no further. This is the vintage German method (too) even with some fruit. You you cannot get any purer than this if you want very old methods that give you perfect French Toast that I was fed in the morning in the 50's from someone born in the range of 1900. Merci Jean!
@@misschris662 or Zigeuner Schnitten or Fotzel Schnitten (Fotzel=Bandit) or Toast Dorés in Quèbec Golden Toast with maple syrup als like Berliners can be tipped in Cinnamon sugar and some butter melted on top....Nothing the French say French was invented in France not even Croissants or Eclairs, all came from Italy or Austria.
@kseminole: Gruëzi! My mother was born and grew up in the German part of Switzerland 🇨🇭 ❤️ 🇩🇪, and made French toast this way as well! She spoke the Swiss-German dialect of Zurich, plus spoke proper German and French excellently. Jean-Jacques Bernat's accent sounds very much like my mother's did. Interesting! Perhaps his origins were in a more southerly part of France 🇫🇷?
@ronald seawell why jump 2 that conclusion...he cud b up 4 work or they may have a new baby.... HIS TURN 2 GET UP SO HIS WIFE CAN REST ......MMMMMM U SEE U NEVER KNOW...SO STOP JUDGEING PEOPLE. ...RONALD SEAWELL
My wife made French Toast this morning (first time in ages) and we only said it but didn't research any recipes. And now a few hours later this is in my suggestions on RUclips. This is madness but voilà it's the world we live in.
I started using brioche to make French toast several years ago and WOW! It really took it to another level. I had always had just regular white bread French toast. Can never go back now.
Sweetpea 3399 maybe those who have the sense to see it is a heart attack or diabetes waiting to happen. If they eat this every day it would be very unhealthy. Must admit though I was drooling 😝
That's gourmet french toast ! My mom used to make it for "le gouter", the afternoon after school snack. But french toast is usually made with slightly stale bread rather than brioche, in fact it's called "pain perdu" (lost bread) in french. And I never had it with berries and coulis, rather on its own with maybe a sprinkling of brown sugar with cinnamon, and no sugar in the batter. But that's the way my mom made it. I guess every mom had her own recipe.
Yes, similar story here. In Sweden we call them 'fattiga riddare' which means 'the poor knights' because you are using stale, left-over bread. I find using fresh bread just gets too soggy. Also, we just make it with eggs, milk with a pinch of salt and then sprinkle cinnamon on top whilst frying the bread. We then serve it with a jam (I prefer lingonberry jam). So there's really no need for sugar, syrup, vanilla extract etc.
My grand ma was doing the same way with regular bread: older it was, more milk she used. With brioche I would not use anything, beside the eggs. Unless it is "aged";)
I think there are many versions of French Toast. No one is right or wrong, just different. Back in the 70's there was a recipe for French Toast in a magazine that was part of an article on Carol Burnett. It was a recipe she used for her family. I have been using it ever since. It has grated orange rind and cinnamon added to egg and milk mixture, then dusted with powdered sugar when finished. My family loved it. I use coconut oil to cook with now and it adds an interesting flavor in.
“A good start to the morning” love it. I would need a nap 2 minutes after eating that BUT for those that can eat this and have a great morning ENJOY, looks amazing, if I could I would.
I’m so pleased to see a chef drop a shell bit into the egg. It doesn’t happen to me often, but I always feel like such a clumsy cook. Now I know it happens to the pros too.
Thanks for this. French toast is not something we make that often, so went looking for recipes to remind myself and this one came up. I would say that the brown sugar mixed in with the egg/cream mixture really made it, we liked it better than putting syrup on top. Using home-made cranberry bread and served with whipped cream it was delicious.
My mother used to make thin slices of bread sandwiched together with raspberry jam, dipped in beaten egg then rolled in cinnamon and sugar, then fried in butter. Served with pouring cream. Heaven.
He puts to much brown sugar in his eggs. That's bad for your healt. I make french toast since I was very young. The recepie is egg, lowfat milk, cinnemoon and a little bit of sugar on the toast when it is in the pan, just for having a crost. It is a Belgian recepie and calls "gewonnen brood" or in French "pain perdue". In the world war, when the brea was becoming to old to eat, they made this to tecover the bread for their familys. So they had not to trow away the bread.
@Leon The Professional It means what the heck have fun. Do as you like and enjoy. Its a magic word for just relax everything is cool and nice. And do not worry too much about how much of what. Throw it together. It must taste nice. How can it not be with all of that? Even one egg, 4 eggs A bottle of milk or a cup and if needed add more.. And half cup or half bag of sugar as you think. Viola.
Ohh geez man I thought you are serious bru. what? Sorry mrs Im not drunk I promise. Where am I? please what were we making I mean doing? huhhh man this is a nice program. What am I looking at? who are you people?
I like his French toast ‘light way’ with that amount of sugar.... I also like his measurement, he just adds each ingredient and unsure how much it has been: hmm 3/4 cup of... (in the camera and and the magic is VOILA). Just watching it I can become diabetic types 2. Anyway very enjoyable. Seen several times.
Thank you, chef . It looks delicious. I've been telling my family this is the best way to make French toast for ages. Now having seen you make it, guess what they want for breakfast tomorrow? Thank you again
Very nice! My mother didn't put any kind of sugar in hers (brown or otherwise), but used a bit of cinnamon with the milk and eggs. But like anything, there are thousands of ways to make it. Nice video, thank you! I bet at Christmas you could substitute eggnog for the eggs and milk, or at least the milk, and add some nutmeg. Hm! Glad I just thought of that...have to try it!
When I was about 8 years old, I learned how to make French toast by watching my uncle make it. His recipe wasn’t as fancy as this one. I’m going to try this one. Around the same time, I learned how to make bacon and eggs by watching my grandfather make them. For years that was all I knew how to cook. Happy holidays and bon appetite everyone!
And some “chefs” says the bread doesn’t have to be soaked too much, there you have it pseudo chefs, a real french chef tells the bread have to be soaked well, take that.
Yes well, I actually soak my bread for anything up to a half hour for both sides then cook in good ole canola oil, pat dry with paper towel when cooked, garnish with tomato sauce and bingo, inside is almost like, just cooked scrambled egg, hum, back shortly, just going to the kitchen. MAXXAUS
My version of french toast (from a Jew raised in Montreal): Eggs, touch of milk, pepper, garlic w/butter, parsley. Slightly stale bread Cook bacon first, reserve grease. Use grease as oil and cook 2 pieces at a time max without letting them soak, creates soggy middle, Le puke. Cover with real maple syrup. Voila!
You make French Toast like my mom did. Sometimes she added a bit of pure Vanilla extract. Though I alway's preferred it with just butter and real maple syrup! Great memories! Of course even though I'm 67 now, mom's food was much better than mine!
I will use from time to time when I have no milk or cream, I will use Coffee Mate vanillin or hazelnut or whatever is available. It really is very tasty.
I usually melt and add butter to the egg mixture, along with vanilla essence and sometimes cinnamon. And cook on nonstick. Makes it extra healthy for my kids 😋😋
"Lost bread". If you really want to go there, the real recipe was created by the poor so that they didn't throw their "lost bread" away, this was not brioche, it was real bread. Milk in one plate, eggs in another - pour bread in the milk first, then in the eggs so that you create some kind of "omelette" around the bread. Then fry in the pan. Once ready, sprinkle anything on it. It is supposed to be a "one course" meal. The only one the poor could eat sometimes.The poor couldn't afford throwing their lost bread away and couldn't afford buying brioche, cinnamon, fruits and what not.
Never milk to eggs mix eggs with the milk or your bread will fall apart before it even hits the pan. Unless it's old, rock hard, four day old real poor mans bread.
Holly Day sorry this recipe comes originally from Spain... to use old day bread and also eaten during EAster lenth and holidays . During those days Of hunger they used and ate anything and everything have several recipes to use dry old bread and other things. These type of toast was brought to France with their Spanish wives of French kings married spanish princesses Luis XIV, Napoleon III etc.
I followed this, yeah I know it's an easy recipe, but the French toast came out fantastic! (I had mine with Maple Syrup). Haven't enjoyed breakfast this much for ages. Thanks for the recipe! (I'm going back for seconds)
@@SamS-lq5df How ridiculous to even make a comment like this! I had French Toast for dinner - duh, the world is going to fall apart now. You must be one of those literal types.
@@Mama_LIN_Tee - please! I’ve never heard anyone having French toast for dinner. Why don’t you come clean and say oh I’m lying coz I’m a lazy bum and have never made any meal in my fucking life!
When I worked as a cook our chef would make the night staff preslice the french bread the night before and let it stand overnight so it would be slightly stale in the morning for brunch. The french toast wouldn't be so soggy after swimming in the batter before cooking.
I learned to store the slices on a cookie sheet in the oven overnight. There was just enough warmth to get them good and dry for the morning, and they really soak up the batter! (Also, just a wee bit o’ Grand Marnier in the batter put everything over the top.)
Good job buddy. Use the extra dark brown sugar and vanilla extract ( 2 caps full) and once the toast is in the pan spinkle cinnamon over the top. Mmmmm
No need to drive when you can make your own bread like he does. No need for fancy braiding. I let my bread maker mix a big batch of dough, put in the fridge to age (it tastes better every day as the gluten works itself) and i can make a quick loaf w/ stew or spagetti. Sometimes I freeze one ready made, or just freeze a dough loaf. You can make raisin bread, whatever you like.
The Canadian way is to use day-old homemade bread and slice it thick, 2"-3". Beat some eggs with a dash of salt and be sure the bread slices are saturated all the way through with the egg mixture. Get a cast iron skillet medium hot, and combine a generous amount of butter with some olive oil so the butter doesn't burn. Add the egg-saturated bread slices to the pan and take the heat to medium. Cook five minutes or so per side so the outside is golden and the egg is cooked all the way through the bread. Serve onto hot plates and at the table pour over maple syrup. I can almost guarantee there's no better French toast, even in France.
you all do have good maple syrup lol your flag has the leaf im such a dick this morning cant wait to go to work and make someone cry love it and cool pic of dog and i like mines on the thick side too just like i like my chics same way peace
looks pretty simple. The main difference between this and what I've done in the past is the brown sugar. Never thought of putting that in the eggs. Sounds like something good to try.
@@michellelopez5407 lol I actually just finished having this for breakfast. Eggs, bacon and French toast. Although I accidentally put too much cinnamon but it turned out good. Almost like cinnamon toast crunch lol.
Of course the best French toasts are made from Challah!!! I knew that since I was a little kid. It's I'll in bread. Challah has so much flavour. Beautiful bread.
I love listening to him talk..his accent is fabulous! I love french toast but have always just do a "winging it" version..im glad to see how it's really done!
This is the first time I’ve seen someone use brown sugar; and milk for French toast; and I’m going to try using this recipe latter this year. I’ll use either type of the bread that he recommended; and I’ll use heavy cream; and a pinch of salt with lots of cinnamon (my favorite spice); and I’ll cook it in a cast iron skillet with butter in the skillet.
No ego and he said "Thank you" at the end! Talented and humble! Voilà!
He didn't say thank you, he was begging for mercy! I guess that IS humble.
He said "Merci", a french word that means "Thank you" and not "Mercy"! RacingGuy61 is right!

My version of french toast (from a Jew raised in Montreal):
Eggs, touch of milk, pepper, garlic w/butter, parsley.
Slightly stale bread
Cook bacon first, reserve grease.
Use grease as oil and cook 2 pieces at a time max without letting them soak, creates soggy middle, Le puke.
Cover with real maple syrup.
Voila!
I like it that he didn’t measure anything at all, lol.. this is awesome
Not measuring is reserved only for the very best and the very worst cooks.
- Does French toast help to against Coronavirus?
- Voila
@Z Ed zzed's ded ,get ovah it. D'accord.
Gracias señor Jacques por compartir su experiencia y conocimientos, saludos desde México
I always put a splash of good-quality vanilla extract into the batter....it makes a difference !
it sure does! I also use vanilla coffee creamer once in awhile
You make French Toast like my mom did. Sometimes she added a bit of pure Vanilla extract. Though I alway's preferred it with just butter and real maple syrup! Great memories! Of course even though I'm 67 now, mom's food was much better than mine!
When in doubt... more brown sugar :D
voila
I don't put sugar in the egg, I just sprinkle a little bit of powder cinnamon. When it's ready I eat it with a little maple syrup and voilà 😋
MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT IS
*'VIOLA'*
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Your comment made me burst out laughing in bed 1am night xx lol cheers nice one x
No, he's all about that double-bass.
Simply Beautiful! I can feel my hips expanding with tears in my eyes!🤣
My mom used to make it with salt and seasonings. The mixture would be like plain omelette, but dip the bread and fry it in oil!
I put a tiny bit of vanilla and cinammon. Voila!
Never tried it with vanilla, but that sounds good... I think I'll try it.
To me, if it has no cinnamon on it, then it ain't french toast!
According to Nigella, thats a doughnut french toast..I make it all the time. Kids wont have it any other way!
I will use from time to time when I have no milk or cream, I will use Coffee Mate vanillin or hazelnut or whatever is available. It really is very tasty.
Me too
That's the way I like best🖒🖒
I like to add Amaretto or Rum extract to the mix. Also, sprinkle your sugar on while in the pan to get a nice Carmel crunch.
Add some more money in insurance coz it ll take longer time to remove heart block if u eat it regularly
The rum is an excellent idea I shall try on next Sunday AM breakfast.......
Good lord, yes!
Why extract? Use the real thing.
Thanks, your way of cooking & talking so natural& relaxing
I tried baking my French toast and it came out really good, crispy outside, soft inside
I'm making this for my wife this coming weekend.
Looks delicious. Thanks very much
Wow i enjoyed watching this vid. Especially coz there is no boring measurments lol 😍🤣
Hello beautiful
Absolutely delicious and well prepared,👌 thanks for sharing this amazing recipe 👍👍👍😋 Stay safe my friend
Chef : and add pinch of salt
Salt : flew away
😄😁😆
There are so many ways to make French toast , all according to your taste .
emery254. Exactly
Exactly. But here is explained the “real“ french toast 😉
Wait, what? I always add vanilla and cinnamon. I've never used brown sugar. I'm thinking next time I'll use all three. lol
Nutmeg too
☺️
By using the brown sugar I guess you really don't need anything else...but he said you can add cinnamon ..etc if you want
Viola!
I usually melt and add butter to the egg mixture, along with vanilla essence and sometimes cinnamon. And cook on nonstick.
Makes it extra healthy for my kids 😋😋
Listening to Chef Bernat is a pleasure. Viola!
"Lost bread". If you really want to go there, the real recipe was created by the poor so that they didn't throw their "lost bread" away, this was not brioche, it was real bread. Milk in one plate, eggs in another - pour bread in the milk first, then in the eggs so that you create some kind of "omelette" around the bread. Then fry in the pan. Once ready, sprinkle anything on it. It is supposed to be a "one course" meal. The only one the poor could eat sometimes.The poor couldn't afford throwing their lost bread away and couldn't afford buying brioche, cinnamon, fruits and what not.
NICE!!
Just love French toast no matter what the origin***
HOWEVER *** thanks for the interesting story of this particular origin**** 🍞🤗
Never milk to eggs mix eggs with the milk or your bread will fall apart before it even hits the pan. Unless it's old, rock hard, four day old real poor mans bread.
Holly Day sorry this recipe comes originally from Spain... to use old day bread and also eaten during EAster lenth and holidays . During those days Of hunger they used and ate anything and everything have several recipes to use dry old bread and other things. These type of toast was brought to France with their Spanish wives of French kings married spanish princesses Luis XIV, Napoleon III etc.
That's still how I make it for my family and we love to eat it with tea and some feta.. maybe with some homemade preserves too..
I followed this, yeah I know it's an easy recipe, but the French toast came out fantastic! (I had mine with Maple Syrup). Haven't enjoyed breakfast this much for ages. Thanks for the recipe! (I'm going back for seconds)
My goodness sir that looks fantastic!
The Backyard Griller j
Napravili nauku od obicnih przenica. Svaka nasa domacica ce napraviti odlicne!
The way I make, 3 eggs, good quality vanilla, heavy cream cinnamon, sugar. About 1/4 tsp salt. Use some dryed out bread.
I make this whenever I’m bored in the morning! Brioche French toast never disappoints ...
you can find brioches at Tj’s if you’re in the U.S.
Hello
What is Tj's? I'm in NYC so...
Ok... U meant Trader Joe's ... Got it... Thx... Had been wondering where would be best to find good brioche...
Yes Trader Joe’s
@@felicitefelton8434 Thanks... love Trader Joe's.... Good quality, good prices...
THIS is on my dinner list for later in the week!! Sounds and looks scrumptious and what a wonderful chef!! Thank you so much!!
It’s for breakfast dummy.
@@SamS-lq5df How ridiculous to even make a comment like this! I had French Toast for dinner - duh, the world is going to fall apart now. You must be one of those literal types.
@@Mama_LIN_Tee - please! I’ve never heard anyone having French toast for dinner. Why don’t you come clean and say oh I’m lying coz I’m a lazy bum and have never made any meal in my fucking life!
@@SamS-lq5df Go be an ass to someone else. It is worn out here.
@@Mama_LIN_Tee - ok mama. I used to say the same thing when I lost an argument. Good for you.
The absolute best French toast Ive ever made/had. My family loves it. ❤
I make French toast with eggs, half and half, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Perfect!
Yup!!! That's exactly how I was raised to make it
When I worked as a cook our chef would make the night staff preslice the french bread the night before and let it stand overnight so it would be slightly stale in the morning for brunch. The french toast wouldn't be so soggy after swimming in the batter before cooking.
Great advice.
I learned to store the slices on a cookie sheet in the oven overnight. There was just enough warmth to get them good and dry for the morning, and they really soak up the batter! (Also, just a wee bit o’ Grand Marnier in the batter put everything over the top.)
I'm 11 and I cook breakfast almost everyday lol I love cooking
LT. CHIPS I'm 10 and I do the same thing
I am 11 too and I love making French toast! 🍞➕🥚➕🥛=❤️
Good job buddy. Use the extra dark brown sugar and vanilla extract ( 2 caps full) and once the toast is in the pan spinkle cinnamon over the top. Mmmmm
LT. CHIPS Who cares?
Learn to cook and you will always be able to find work.
"No ego you said "! Thanks for sharing your Talent ! 👍🍞🙏
gonna try this, never had it with brown suger, now to drive 100 miles to get the right bread
Terry Frederickson I know the feeling. I wanted french toast after watching this and all I have is rye bread. Lol
No need to drive when you can make your own bread like he does. No need for fancy braiding. I let my bread maker mix a big batch of dough, put in the fridge to age (it tastes better every day as the gluten works itself) and i can make a quick loaf w/ stew or spagetti. Sometimes I freeze one ready made, or just freeze a dough loaf. You can make raisin bread, whatever you like.
Texas toast buddy
Aldi has brioche.
Make your own
Yummy yummy yummy! I love my French toast with lots of butter, cinnamon, and maple syrup.
alley kitty
I concur, to me it's not French toast withoit pure maple syrup. Oh and yes lots of butter and cinnamon
diabetes on a plate no need for all that sugar.
Browned butter maple syrup powder sugar yesssss!!!
Honey is much better rhen syrop. For me anyway
The Canadian way is to use day-old homemade bread and slice it thick, 2"-3". Beat some eggs with a dash of salt and be sure the bread slices are saturated all the way through with the egg mixture. Get a cast iron skillet medium hot, and combine a generous amount of butter with some olive oil so the butter doesn't burn. Add the egg-saturated bread slices to the pan and take the heat to medium. Cook five minutes or so per side so the outside is golden and the egg is cooked all the way through the bread. Serve onto hot plates and at the table pour over maple syrup. I can almost guarantee there's no better French toast, even in France.
its also how i do it. and indian way. this would have too much sugar and cream.
you all do have good maple syrup lol your flag has the leaf im such a dick this morning cant wait to go to work and make someone cry love it and cool pic of dog and i like mines on the thick side too just like i like my chics same way peace

You can't have too much sugar and cream.
The cast Iron Skillet is what makes it, Just like Grandma made, things are always better when made by Grandma!
Looks unbelievably delicious!
looks pretty simple. The main difference between this and what I've done in the past is the brown sugar. Never thought of putting that in the eggs. Sounds like something good to try.
Right..we have used granulated sugar...and vanilla extract!
A man that can cook so deliciously got to love that French accent 😍 love it when he says sugar 😄 all into one "sighs"
I'll make you some French toast in the morning ;) lol
@@makinamuerte7590 lol one of my favorite morning breakfast meals. I love sweets
@@makinamuerte7590 I like watching these cooking channels makes one hungry watching. Weakness for sweets ❤ sweet fancy breakfast lol
@@michellelopez5407 lol I actually just finished having this for breakfast. Eggs, bacon and French toast. Although I accidentally put too much cinnamon but it turned out good. Almost like cinnamon toast crunch lol.
@@makinamuerte7590 I always put little to much cinna at times on my French toast covered in maple syrup & lots of butter.
Of course the best French toasts are made from Challah!!! I knew that since I was a little kid.
It's I'll in bread. Challah has so much flavour. Beautiful bread.
Love it! Thks! Merci. Grettings from Paraguay.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

"The very, very, light way."
Uh, *Chantilly Cream* , my friend.
*Chantilly Cream* from *Chantilly* France........
Go check it out.......
Fantastic…. brief, simple,and added tips of cream, cinnamon very good. 2022… and Thanks!
This is the first time I’ve seen someone use brown sugar; and milk for French toast; and I’m going to try using this recipe latter this year.
I’ll use either type of the bread that he recommended; and I’ll use heavy cream; and a pinch of salt with lots of cinnamon (my favorite spice); and I’ll cook it in a cast iron skillet with butter in the skillet.
How is it a french toast if theres no milk
This one is different don’t try if you like yours!
