Chef, if everyone were as "nuts" as you, the world would be a much happier place. Thank you for being you. ❤
Thank you 🙏
excellent I don't know much English but I understood a little and enjoyed watching the video and his way of cooking and expressing fascinated me: I reei how he explains very funny: thanks for that advice to toast the bread I didn't know:❤
He is not nuts at all. He is wonderful!
Speaking of "nuts" , a sprinkle of chopped Pecans would be a nice touch.
reminds me of the Galloping Gourmet
This dude cracks me up. He's funny without trying to be funny. God Bless America!!
My 11 year old son made PERFECT French toast for the first time after watching this video. Amazing Mother's Day gift for me ❤
Incredible!! Just a great treat for mother's day.🎉
I love how he always says to “measure carefully” and then totally eyeballs everything. Makes me laugh every time.
😂😂😂 yea I was like wtf good recipe though 😅
Perfect every time😊
I don’t measure either
Also I love how he is realistic with regard to ingredients.Many chefs are insisting that you need certain ingredients but he acknowledges that you can’t always get the best so offers alternative choices and then proceeds to make a wonderful result
Because he’s a chef, he cooks by instinct, whereas the home cook would need to follow recipes and measurements.
Those things are stored in a chefs brain
Chef Jean-Pierre, as soon as I open up one of your videos, I hit the "like" button, before I even watch it. You are a gifted teacher and an incredible chef. I can't wait to try this recipe.
Me too!
Haha me too
Me too
Me too!
It looks so delicious. I wish I were the cameraman/woman who I'll bet never needs to cook a meal for themselves.
I come from a poor farmer family, and my mom had 5 sons and her husband. We had our own chickens and eggs. Every time bread became a bit old, my mother made french toast. We did not have any berries or syrup, but it was still a delicassy. To this day I don't know how my parents were able to feed us all, but the food was delicious.
Hello my friend! I know this video is a few months old now, but I wanted to let you know how this worked out for me. My wife likes my cooking (thanks chef!). She had mentioned in passing that she had been craving French toast, and that we should hit up our favorite little breakfast place sometime soon. Yesterday morning (Sunday), I let her sleep in and went for it. All I had for berries were strawberries, but I made a syrup with them and some Myers rum. Fantastic!! I made the French toast pretty much the same as yours, with a side of thick-cut bacon. My wife said this was the best French toast she had ever had. I told her that if you want to make great French toast, you consult a great French chef!! As always, Thank You Chef!!
I am at the point now where I just give these videos a thumbs up before I even watch it because I know “it’s going to be amazing!”
Love this! Never thought about toasting the bread...learned something new! Thank you, Chef!
I am French and i would like to let some informative comment for our American friends who passionate themselves for the French cooking: Originally, what is called "French Toast" in English corresponds in fact to what we call in French "Lost Bread". This objective of this desert was to use the stale bread rather than throw it to the bin of give it to farm animals. That's why in the original recipe, we use common stale bread and not fresh brioche or bread. In the original recipe, stale bread is rehumidified in a mixture of milk and eggs, sugar and you can add flavor such as vanilla alcohol and spices. Then cook it as shown in a pan with butter.the version with Brioche is much sweeter as the brioche past itself is already made with eggs, milk and sufar and taste very differently than a bread. The reason why chef Jean Pierre toast its fresh brioche is that it not sufficiently dry and it would desagregate when being humifified by the misxture of eggs and milk or cream.
My mother was born in France. The idea behind French toast is it was traditionally yesterday's bread fried into something else the next day.
Yeah, here in Flanders we call it "Gewonnen Brood", or "won bread".
Yes you french, your the best,,,we know😂,,,,
Thank you.loveli .small technic very useful.
In Bosnia we call it PRŽENICE!!
My mom had a cooking show in the late 50's. I think she was hired for crazy funny humor n she was beautiful. Always mom was having goofy things happen to her on live tv. People loved to see he zany sense of honest humor.
it has never even occurred to me to sauté fruits, looking at the strawberry's, raspberry's and black berry's sautéing in that butter made my mouth water. I have learnt more about cooking in the last 2 weeks than I have my whole life, hats off to you Chef and thanks.
It's a pretty common thing to do and it's amazing
I wanted to tell you, Chef, that I am applying your cooking principles to everything I make now. First the ONYO, don’t use water- water is the enemy, add some wine, use lots of butter, all those wonderful things you’ve taught us. And I’m applying all these principles to old favorite recipes like chili for example and these old recipes are coming to life. It’s like eating in a restaurant every night. And of course were using good food / whole food - none of that boxed crap they sell in the grocery store. Thank you for improving my life. Happy healthy 2022 to all!
Never thought of toasting the bread first to keep it from getting soggy. Great tip and thanks for the explanations as to WHY! Your tips telling WHY you should do something makes a huge difference!
French toast is normally made with stale bread that is dipped in milk to soften it a bit. French toast is an old recipe for not wasting stale bread. Doing it with brioche is no longer French toast. And the real French name is "the lost bread"
Dunno, but I think the light toasting first is a GREAT tip
Thank You Chef
Not only an amazing chef, but personality that i find magnetic. I could watch and listen to JP for hours...oh, and his food is delicious too.
Had years without making French toast and thanks to this chef I will make them again.
This recipe looks like a must make for Valentine's Day.
"... So simple a child could do it .." This was my first 'no measurement' 'fancy' recipe my mom taught me! We used "Texas Toast" bread, cut into 2 triangles after cooking, stacked prettily on the plate and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The syrup was heated in a water bath on the stove (pre-microwave). My dad and siblings were delighted in our 'creation' - I think I was in second or third grade. Thank you for the sweet memories. You are the best!
I agree Chef 👨🍳 you can never have too much BUTTER 🧈 🤩
I made this as a treat for my woman. Unfortunately, my previous attempts at making french toast always ended in disaster. But, this time it turned out surprisingly well. I think the key was choosing fresh bread from the deli at our local grocery. Fresh cut strawberries and blackberries, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, with authentic maple syrup, and it was a masterpiece. Good to the last bite. Thanks, Chef Jean-Pierre!
Also, French toast is a favorite at our house, and it's not just for breakfast. My 13 year old makes EXCELLENT French toast with a warm mixed berry compote and a little bit of marscapone sweetened with a little honey, and a dash of powered sugar. It looks and tastes like a fancy restaurant dish, but truly is so easy a child can do it - because they do! My kiddo makes their French toast exactly as you do and it's every bit as good as you say it is!
May I ask for the receipt?
@@y2ksw1 I don't have a recipe exactly. The recipe Chef provided in the description is pretty much what we do for the French Toast part. I always make homemade bread, I have a more dense white bread family recipe I use because it holds up well, but sometimes we use Challah bread which is delicious. We like using bread we make because we can slice it however thick we like it. For the berry compote, we pretty much follow the same process Chef did in his video and recipe, although we generally cook it down a bit more so it's kind of in between a chunky texture and a really thick syrup since we don't put syrup on ours. If fresh berries aren't in season, we use frozen ones and that has the added benefit of having a little extra water which helps it become a more syrupy texture. We don't really measure, we add sugar to taste. For the marscapne, it's the same, we just add honey to taste to get to the sweetness we like and then add some lemon zest, again to taste, to balance out the sweet. Really you could sweeten the marscapne with powdered sugar, or any sweetening agent you prefer, we just like the texture and flavor the honey adds. Sorry I don't have specific measurements, we tend to cook by look, feel, texture, and taste, so it's really what feels good to you and what you like.
@@alicelau9856 This is a super precise description, thank you very much!
@@y2ksw1 you're welcome!
Ya kids are intelligent if they have the right set of instructions to follow. There's really not much to it if you have a good mentor who cares.
OMG, butter, sugar and Grande Mariner, can’t get better than that, thanks, Chef 🥰!
Would you consider doing a show on Coquilles St. Jacques, have yet to find a recipe that I like and I know I will love yours!
Seeing so much of you over the holidays has been an absolute Joy, chef. Your stuffing went down a treat as it did last year, and for the first time in my life, I served a moist Turkey breast for christmas day. Thank you so much for your amazing channel.
Yes my son has learned a NEW WORD!!! The new word is ONYO!!! Now it is ONYO BLUP BLUP...Ilove this time!!! I want to wish everybody over there a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! And thanks for everything!! We love you!
Chef you know the routine SOOOOO WELL. DONT RUSH. WE LOVE YOU!
We love French toast for breakfast alongwith those lush berries and maple syrup
You did it J-P! Over 500K subscribers before the end of 2021. Just think, every week half a million people are watching you. That's a lot of budder!
Bravo et bonne continuation. Bonne année 2022.
.... and 1.8m June 2024 🥳
I made your lasagna for Christmas dinner this year. I made it ahead, and got to spend the holiday WITH MY FAMILY instead of in the kitchen. It was delightful, and everyone LOVED the lasagna!
My 18 years daughter didn't like French toast until she tried this recipe, we loved!!! , she said it's better than restaurants. So yummy 😋. Thanks 😊
This is beauty. Real French Toast! I am reminded of the time, almost 50 years ago, that I stopped at a restaurant in California for breakfast and ordered French Toast. They made it with two different quick breads--banana bread and some kind of sweet pecan bread. Served with strong French Roast 100% Colombian coffee. That was a truly amazing experience!
This is an example of how the brain recalls pleasure.... as in a culinary orgasm!
OMG. I'm drooling. I also noticed this is the very first video (and I've watched loads of them) that Jean-Pierre has not burnt himself. Fantastic.
I love brioche bread! I’m definitely trying this recipe! I would never have thought to toast the bread first, another great tip from you Chef, thank you!
another piece of genius food art from the maestro! mercí, grazie, danke, gracias, oh... and thank you!
Chef, you move in the kitchen like one of the great symphony conductors with poise and grace
You're still a riot!!! Love watching and learning, although I was a pro cook. I wish I'd cooked with you when I was a line cook, but I'm cooking with you now as a home cook. Great lessons and entertainment. You keep me laughing.
👍👍👍😊
Chef 👨🍳, I love that you take the time to read the comments and respond 🎉very rarely do UTubers respond to their comments and who knows if they even take the time to read them. So I just had to say THANK YOU FOR READING AND RESPONDING to your FANS COMMENTS!!!
I love french toast and now i just realized i have been making it wrong. Toasting the bread first is a life changer. Now my french toast has excelled to new levels. Thank you chef.
We just had this for Brunch with a side of Bacon. My husband said best French toast ever!!!😘 Going to use the left over fruit on my pavlova tonight !!
People may argue if its the best French toast RECIPE on youtube (i dont!)... but no one can deny this video has the best THUMBNAIL among all the french toast videos. We
Every time I click on one of his videos and I see Chef's smiling face going, "Hello friends!" it just makes my day brighter. I love watching these videos for his manic energy and humor, but I also have learned a ton about cooking, and, uhh, "measuring carefully" ;-) Keep up the great work, Jean-Pierre. Love ya!
Ditto, Gloria! I don’t even have to like the recipe… the performance and cooking tips are worth it!
Chef, you not only teach, but you are entertaining as well. This is the secret to success in the youtube world! You are a genius!
Could not agree more.
Toasting the bread before putting it in the batter is a game changer, I didn’t realize until I watched this video that I have been making this wrong for the last sixty two years. This is the most informative, interesting and uplifting channel on RUclips. Period. ❤
As a child in the 60's my favorite breakfast was 'pain perdu', or lost bread that my grandmother would cook. Only plain white bread in simple egg, milk and vanilla, and then powdered sugar on top. I suppose we didn't have 'fancy' breads or other ingredients to add in. Anyway, it is a fond memory for me and a dish I cook every so often. One day I'll have to try this 'souped up' version, I am sure it is delicious. Sometimes though, I think we have some of our earliest 'fond' memories that involve food, and the way it was cooked by, perhaps, our grandmother...and no other recipe, no matter how 'good', ever comes close. In any case, as always, thank you chef for sharing. I'm looking forward to adding a bit of Grand Marnier to my lost bread!
Chef, you are the best. Your recipes are fabuloso. And the way you teach is entertaining and funny! That way I can remember key points. I believed I was a good cook. Nope. I just made things, but you have taught me so far MANY things, and I am sure there are a million more things to learn. I now understand how to make my own pasta. I understand how to make alfredo sauce. French Onion soup. I made it my goal to try every recipe you have shared. Please don't go away. Your site is better than any other, If you still had a chef school or cooking school, I would enroll ASAP. Sei il re dei re quando si tratta di cucinare! ( and I learned the basic things a chef always has around- spices and seasonings and others. I have all the tools. My cooking skills have improved well. All because of you!
I made this today with left over Hawaiian rolls and it was a hit with the family!! Definitely making it again. This was my first time toasting it before dipping it, and it was a game changer!! Thank you for helping me elevate my cooking game!!
Merci chef Jean-Pierre et continuez d’utiliser le sirop d’érable du Québec,le meilleur au monde!
......yeah what they said.....
Hi Chef, I made your French toast this morning and it was heavenly. A little trick my great aunt told me years ago was to put a little oil in with the butter. It makes the French toast crispy
CJP, reminds me of a French guy I knew years ago in RVSD California when I lived there. Same personality. He was cool. This is similar to how I cook mine. This is an awesome recipe 👌. God bless you 🙏. ❤
Chef Jean-Pierre, for Canadians, Maple Syrup is like butter is to you. You can never have to much❤❤❤❤❤
A bottle of Rum, Grand Marinier and Jean-Pierre instantly going to be a good recipe!
My friend! Delicious. I had never thought of toasting the “toast” first. I LOVE this! I bake breads, so my next loaf is going to be a brioche! Thank you for all the tips chef!
Brioche and butter! What a wonderful combination!!!
Beautiful dish, Chef! If I could give you two thumbs up for having to rush I would. I am fine with you talking all the time you want. It is a joy to watch you in action.
Wow! I just made this chef. It is the best French toast I've ever had. I didn't have any of the alcohol on hand that you used, so I opted for French Brandy and it was still a beautiful dish. Thank you for all the great recipes you share with us.
I have had the pleasure of dining at his restaurant in Fort Lauderdale the Left Bank he cooked many dinners for us at our table with a portable range. This is before he became a TV chef his personality hasn’t changed nor the great food he cooks
👍👍👍❤️
11:05 that little imperfections of your cooking makes you a humble human and a fantastic chef.
Bravo 🎉🙌🏻
What a way to start my morning---watching this great video about French Toast. I guess I will resume watching my weight after the New Year!
I cannot pass up watching any of your vidos. I have learned a ton form you. Thank you for being so honest and funny at the same time.
He's so chaotic and wholesome! ❤
Toasting the bread first .... great idea .... I must try that!
Literally made my mouth water! So much so I'm now in the kitchen at 10:30pm cooking this! TY Chef J-P!
Chef Jean Pierre you are the best and my favorite cooking RUclips videos. I was a chef for 25 years and you cook like I would cook. Thank you!!
Chef Jean: "measure everything carefully"
Proceeds to not measure anything 😂
No need to measure butter! 👍🤣
Ernst is right about butter and if I may add another point, chef can meas3things by habit. When we need a scale they just put the right amount 😂 Like my butcher when I ask meat he cut the piece and is never 15gr away from the target.
I noticed that too... briliant!
😂😂😂
Do as he say, not as he do.
Nothing better than fresh farm eggs. The yolks are the best!
Just made this for myself and my husband for our Saturday morning breakfast. My husband plowed through it! He loves it, I love it! Delicious!!
Chef, thank you so very much for sharing your extensive knowledge with us. We are so grateful. If not for you, I would have been cutting vegetables wrong for the rest of my life. We love you!!!! ❤
That is genius!!! I never thought to put kahalua in my French toast!!! I’m on it!!!! I use half and half…I don’t use milk…now I’m starving lol
As a chef myself i love this guy. One of the only ones i do.
Thank you Louis! 🙏🙏🙏😀
How many times do I have to tell you. You need a love button not a like button. And No!, not that love button.! Hahaha! Your zeal for cooking is inspirational!
🙏🙏🙏
A 3rd egg and less milk make a creamier batter for my French Toast. I add butter after cooking and brown sugar to the top. Your berry syrup sounds delicious. I grow my own assortment of berries. Yum ! tms poet Ohio
I have watched Chefs tv and lately UTube videos for years, I recently came across yours and I will not waste my time with any other Chefs than you again. You actually teach (I am not good at reproducing yet!) but I know understand some science about processes that seemed to me prior to listening to you to be a waste of time. You are brilliant and clearly a lovely and wonderful man. Thank you so much x
Thank you 🙏
Chef Jean-Pierre, we made this New Years Day using raisin bread, whipped cream and of course the booze and it turned out unbelievable!!! I gave it a 5 star and will be making this often in the future. Thank you for this video loved it!!! This is definitely a high end restaurant dish!
Love watching him cook and love listening to him talk. When I was 5-8yrs old in about 1976-1978 1979 and Saturday after cartoons or Sunday, on PBS(back when our only channels were only 4, 5, 9, 13, 25, 34, and 43), there was a show called The Frugal Gourmet. The chef was Cajun and had a thick Cajun accent. He always wore these suspenders that looked like measuring tape. Anytime the recipe had wine, he poured a little in the pot and would say a little for the pot, then he would take a drink from the bottle and say A little for me and back and for at least 3 rounds. So until Emeril arrived, The Frugal Gourmet was only cooking show available. 😍😍😍
I'm hoping I can find some old episodes of his to watch.
Scary! I made my husband French Toast this morning but I doubt it was near as good as this. I never thought of toasting my bread first. We use French Bread as regular bread is always soggy. After watching the video I made my French Toast ( adult version.) It was so delicious I made a second helping. I topped with some leftover compote of dried mixed fruit I had soaked in Captain Morgan then prepared. Thanks for the time you take teaching us cooking skills Chef! PS: Added even more Kahlua the second time. Fantastic!
Well if you do this in the evening and having nothing planned you can even add rum after the cooking... À more friendly and happy recipe would say the chef 😂
@@khaelamensha3624 I also have Captain Morgan. Kahlua is a favorite. I hade it in my coffee and French Toast LOL I'll add rum next time HeeHee !😄
Making brunch tomorrow, definitely going to try this. I think my grandson will love it!!!
Made this for my wifes breaky the last 2 days now...yesterday I just made the toast..had no maple syrup..so just had it with plum jam and whipped cream..and she loved it...today I gave the syrup ago too with orange juice ...I added blueberries and the syrup turn purple and looked and tasted amazing...served the toast with the syrup and more whipped cream...better then any we've had at a cafe' ....can't believe I made it!
Chef Jean-Pierre, you are such an incredible chef and you are so talented! I love watching you prepare your dishes. Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration! Merci beaucoup! 💕
His naughty laughter ….honestly makes one laugh out loud each time!
Keep spreading your sunshine chef!
Thank you, I will😊👍
This is French toast at the next level! Thank you chef for giving us another simple, amaaaaazing recipe!
I love the way you talk to us as if we are there with you.
OMG, the butter. The butter ! 🧈
Those pan fried bread things looks amazing delicious.
I could watch Chef Jean-Pierre cook every single day!!! I love his style! Thank you for sharing your kitchen with us Chef!!!!
This guy is hilarious. The controlled chaos is incredible. Can't help but giggle .
Made this today. Absolutely the BEST French toast I've ever had. Family said I could make it everyday. Thanks Chef for the home run recipe!
People like you always put a smile on my face, and this looks delicious! Thank you, chef for being here to make me and plenty others smile, and sharing these recipes!
Love your videos. I just tumbled upon on it and am glad I did. Your cheerfulness is contagious.
My mom used to make for us when we were kids and now I make for my kids often times chef, but I let it soak. It takes quite a bit of time to toast/cook inside of the bread but it's delicious when it is soaked and toasted. ..and I don't toast the bread beforehand.
I love how you coated the berries and topped them.
I am going to try it tomarrow for breakfast.
Thank you.for the lovely video once again.
It was a great idea for me to toast a bread before wiping into the egg/milk mixture! Thank you? Maestro for the great idea! We are learning through all our life!
Fantastic Jean Pierre....thank you...I'm Argentinian...I learn a lot with you cook...
While I had heard of using old bread for French Toast, this is the first time I have heard of toasting the bread first! I made French Toast for Christmas Breakfast, but I'm going to try toasting the bread next time!
Thank you. I watch your channel for hours as I do whatever I do, but I thought I knew everything, but wow you have taught me so many things. My Dad taught me and he's older now and doesn't remember you, but I know he's watched you bc I recall you when younger.
So I tried this recipe today. The first two I made were for my wife. I burned them and grew frustrated. I put them off to the side and made two more. Those I managed to not burn and gave them to my wife. She absolutely loved them. I served myself the two burned ones. The absolute best French toast I’ve ever tasted! I’ve been cooking French toast for years and everyone loved it but this recipe is on another level. Thanks, Chef!!!
I love his energy and craziness in the kitchen 😍
My favorite breakfast/lunch/dinner food…. I’d love to see Chef Jean-Pierre do some more breakfast stuff…..
I really wish I could have attended your cookery classes; spending an hour in your company would have been truly inspirational.
Thank you 🙏
“Adult Version” without a doubt the best holiday breakfast……….Mommy and Daddy sure get happy Christmas morning.
I cooked the stuffing and turkey recipes this Christmas. Everyone said it was really good. Stuffing was a lot of work. It looks so easy when JP cooks but it took me two hours to make the stuffing but was worth it.
I know what I'M having for dinner tonight! (Because I can) Thank you, Chef...
Haven't done this in years but will definitely try the adult version! 😋😋😋 Thank you, again. God bless.
I just want to add: I forgot to buy vanilla when I was at the shop, and I realized this after I already had everything else in a bowl... I improvised and used some Vanilla Chai Latte concentrate in substitution. I was sooooo good. I poured the leftover batter into the pan and made scrambled eggs with it.. Vanilla Chai Latte eggs are fckn divine!! 😋🤪🥰 The hints of chai in the background of the french toast was so good. 🤩 Thank you for another beautiful recipe, Chef!!! ❤
With the accent, any toast Jean-Pierre makes is french toast. Even if it pops out the toaster!
