I use 5 slices of bread with 2 eggs 1/4 cup Suger and about 1 cup of milk . Beat the eggs add Suger mix then milk fry in butter . My dad taught me how to make French toast but he used about a cup of sugar but remember this guy didn't gain weight .
Hey there! It's called French Toast because the French ate a LOT of bread back in the day, yet there was no way to keep it fresh. It often hardened before they would eat again. They developed "French Toast" so they could utilize the bread before it turned into a rock. :)
In French at least where I live, French Toast is called pain perdue (my spelling may be off, I apologize), which translates to lost bread. The reason is you lose the bread when you put it in the egg mixture.
There is something about your laid back demeanor that just makes me chill out and do the damn thing. Plus, it’s almost spooky how the minute I have a question in my head … that’s the next detail you explain. Great channel. Keep it up.
I add a very small amount of almond extract to the egg mix. I also beat the eggs before I add the milk to avoid splashing the milk out. This is the first time I ever heard of anyone adding salt to French toast, I'm gonna try it next time I make this. I have a couple pieces of MadeIn cookware, they are pretty good.
This inspired me to surprise my wife with French Toast this morning. Big success. How do you manage the pan browning or burning the butter when making multiple batches? Scrape the pan in between or let it cool?
If your doing a lot of them you can sacrifice a piece of bread and kind of mop up some of the brown butter and start over. If you really burning butter just turn it down a bit.
I use more butter, cook on a lower heat longer, to make sure all of the egg soaked in is cooked through. I also add a teaspoon sugar & a drop of vanilla. Another delicious addition is a little bit of flour. It really works. You can use also use brown sugar for a richer French flavour. They use Brioche bread. My son likes it thick, with crusts cut off, & batter soaked through. It takes much longer to cook through on a low heat, do there's no raw egg, but is more moist & luxurious. It needs more butter to fry rather than grill.
I make the best French toast. For one person, me, I make one piece. I beat one egg in pan and add 1/8 cup half and half and 1 tsp vanilla flavoring. I soak bread thoroughly on both sides unto all egg mixture is soaked up. I cook in butter on lower heat until cooked through and a little crispy on the outside and puffed. I serve with real maple syrup also. My toast is the talk of the town. No one can believe how delicious it is, and everyone wants the recipe. It isn’t eggy. It’s amazing.
I just wanted to tell you that I am very glad that I found your beginner video on how to make french toast. This was for my dearly beloved sister, who is eager to learn. Thank you for your wonderful presentation in showing us how to make french toast! My sister wants to give it a try, and she will be delighted!!
I'm trying to do this for My parents with scrambled eggs coffee and many some waffles idk served with some juice and say good Morin to them and my 4 sisters😃
I'm so glad I came to your video. I just wanted to make basic french toast and the last video I watched, the lady put way too much milk and barely cooked the toast. Thank-you for showing this better, simpler way
Hi, Happy and healthy New Year to you! I have viewed your recipes and subscribed. I think your down to earth explanations are superb, and allows me to make my own small changes, and remain confident. The only change I would make to this delicious recipe, which I did make, is that I would add Vanilla Essence. Thank you so very much. Kushty Bok, Dawn from Kent, UK.
try using the broken eggshell to scoop out the left behind shells ,its like its attracted to the shell ,runs from your finger or a spoon/spatula/fork or whatever .use part of the shell to dip up the lil bits..it works :)
Yeah, I understand your egg cracking idea about not wanting to make a big mess but it looks like it doesn’t give it a nice clean crack so it’s prone to have shells behind so I just do the edge of the ball and if it needs to be wiped up. I can do that a whole lot easier than trying to get a piece of shell out
Very good and easy. If one doesn't want broken egg shell in the bowl, crack the egg using e.g a knife outside the bowl then empty the cracked egg into the bowl with no broken egg shell bits....
@@homecookbasics It depends on how 'slow' one is in moving it over to the bowl! I have never spilt egg in the counter as I crack it very close to the bowl! Just a useful tip!
Thank you so much. I managed to cut the chicken no problem. Your instruction video is very well done. Well done young man. So appreciate your video. I would love to see a video on how to make the chicken stock. Keep going as I love your presentations. Kind regards Carlos Hartwell ( PS I also have a channel on you tube but for music. ) Hugz.
Like your french toast but I make mine with eggs salt and pepper and grated mozzarella cheese and a little milk mix it up put bread in and fry on both sides until golden grandson's love it thanks Jeanette Marie Australia 💞
I never, ever heard of putting syrup on french toast until I ordered it at a restaurant! LOL My mom always just served it with powered sugar on it & now that's the only way I can eat it.
No need to waste the left over egg mixture. After removing the toast, turn off the heat and pour the mixture into the pan. Push it around with a spatula and in about 30 seconds you have great scrambled eggs to go with the French toast.
Yes it was in France where it became popular, but it was used by many European and even far east like Bombay ( Bombay toast" also goes by Eggy Toast, German toast, Gypsy toast and Poor knights..
I make my French Toast on the George Foreman. I use 2 eggs and that makes 9 slices or 3 slices cooked at a time. 3 slice breakfast with 2 of the sausage links per serving. I eat 3 then freeze 2 3 slice breakfast. Defrost over night in the fridge and pop in the microwave for about 1 minute.
In the kitchen , frying pan on the stove .Crack two eggs , add some milk salt and beat it with fork ) ( don't whisk it ) .By then your pan is hot and you're done in under 2 min .Off you go...
It is called French toast because it was popularized by French immigrants in America (Fun fact: French toast was invented long before France was a country!)
you have to crack each egg in a small bowl so you don't ruin the whole batch over that rare one bad egg 😉 you have to pick out a piece of egg shell with a bigger piece of egg shell, it doesn't run away from the other shell like it does your finger, but mainly i'm hoping for a review on that new big breville you got, how about some bread pudding or something that you can't make in just any big toaster oven. Thank you. 🌴
He is getting shell fragments because he is cracking the eggs against the inside wall of the bowl. Cracking on the edge with the egg leaning inside would crack the shell more cleanly. A little wrist action springing back quickly upon impact also helps.
@@KimSevern I prefer stale bread for dunking without falling apart. It is usually French Toast time when I reach the end of a loaf of bread. I sometimes even purposely dry out a few slices as if I am going to make stuffing but not quite as fully dry.

This makes the most sense to me. People lived so much differently, wonder if we will go back to those hard times!

Use Pam every time you put a new batch on the grill, and add the butter on top when it's done..Much easier.

Big points I bet
Add a small dash of vegetable oil, it raises the burn temp of the butter.

Your telling me, I saw Gordon Ramsay video on French toast and he was all over the place, looked amazing thou
This is absolutely great video , and Zi would like to try this , thank you and see you around
I add vanilla and no salt. I also double dip it 2 times. It cooks Really well and tastes great !
Double dip, Interesting
French Toast was used to use up stale bread. Either French toast or bread pudding. Add a pinch of Nutmeg for a really big step up.
I like the cinnamon, that makes sense with the stale bread... thanks for the comment.
Thank you , Sir for the easy to follow Video on how to make FRENCH TOAST.
You are most welcome
Thanks for helping people to make French toast
Can we use the PAM cooking spray for a substitute for butter? Came out delicious btw 😇
I wouldn't use it, what is it actually? Butter is the real thing 😁

So true about maple syrup! I prefer the medium grade. Stronger flavor

Hi what do you do with the left over eggs??
Usually there is not much leftover.

Always!

I tried and it’s so delicious 😋
I use raisin bread; Its awesome 👌
Yehhh! I could make French Toast. Good job Bob.👍
that's great!
Hey Bob! It’s called French toast here but it’s called “pan perdu “ in France which means “lost bread” …stale bread…
Got it, so it was a creative way to deal with stale bread. Thanks for the comment!
'pain' is bread
Very good and easy. If one doesn't want broken egg shell in the bowl, crack the egg using e.g a knife outside the bowl then empty the cracked egg into the bowl with no broken egg shell bits....
ya but then you get some egg white on the counter
@@homecookbasics It depends on how 'slow' one is in moving it over to the bowl! I have never spilt egg in the counter as I crack it very close to the bowl! Just a useful tip!

Sure thing!
Cold butter? it gets heated up before the eggs are added, counter top tempture butter a problem?
Gotta be cold butter!

This sounds interesting cheese on french toast.
Great job on the French toast!🎉
Thanks for the egg tip.
Sure thing!
Brioche bread is fantabulous for french toast with 🥓 😋
I need to try it!
Do you have to use the milk though
Nope, it is still great without milk!
Good instructions
Thank u ☺️
thanks, good commentary too
Wow thanks
Welcome 😊
This is such a good and thorough video 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Looks delicious!
Am on my way to try it
Use WELSH salted butter ! Absolutely Wonderiffic! Greetings from Barry Island !😊
Thanks for the tip!
Will any butter work room temp
Yes it will
I've learned to make frenchtoast without the sweet stuff. Pretty amazing.
May I ask about the milk. Does it have to be Cows milk or it could be any milk
Any I would say.
I use almond or soy and it is just as good. Dairy milk spoils too fast for me, living single and not a milk drinker.
I never, ever heard of putting syrup on french toast until I ordered it at a restaurant! LOL My mom always just served it with powered sugar on it & now that's the only way I can eat it.
In the Northeast we put maple syrup on everything lol
I grew up with the syrup on it even with the powdered sugar. The powdered sugar was only put on as a garnish.
Beautiful.
No need to waste the left over egg mixture.
After removing the toast, turn off the heat and pour the mixture into the pan. Push it around with a spatula and in about 30 seconds you have great scrambled eggs to go with the French toast.
Nice thinking
Now I know what to do with the leftover batter….thanks 😊
I pour the leftover egg mixture on my French toast while its in the pan.
Use the edge of the half shell to get the shell pieces out, somehow it attracts them.
I need to try this thanks!
Can u use oil instead of butter?
Is Cinnamon optional? Because I don't have any left and in my country it's hard to find.
Salt a touch gives great Taste.
We too call it French toast too mom made it regularly
In india we add cardamom for flavourful.. & Touch of Turmeric

Absolutely, thanks for watching
Thank you looking good
So nice of you, thanks

Thank you 😋
To pick out a piece of shell use a larger piece of shell to scoop it up
Can't go wrong with french toast! Great recipe!
Thanks Lisa, simple and quick!
You didnt use sugar with the eggs and milk!
I love French toast and there is thus little secret on the side that is cooking try putting a little sprinkle of cinnamon on the wet side!
Interesting!
Does it matter if it's salted or unsalted butter?
If salted butter dont add salt.
Looks good😋
