I'm from the Chicagoland area and I've never seen French Toast done that way. Ours is eggs, about 1 tablespoon of milk per egg used, vanilla is optional and mixed together with a whisk or fork. We just use regular sandwich bread (square), dip both sides, and cook on a griddle or in a large fry pan in butter, shortening, or coconut oil until golden brown on both sides. We top ours with butter and syrup of your choice. I've used real maple syrup, pancake syrup, or a flavored syrup like cherry, blueberry, etc. In a restaurant you might get fresh fruit or fruit compote and whipped cream on top of your french toast. It might have powdered sugar sprinkled on top. Some restaurants might use fancier bread but most just use regular sandwich bread. French toast is definitely for breakfast (unless you're having breakfast for dinner 😁) and I might also serve bacon, sausage, or ham on the side. Oh and we definitely eat it with a knife and fork.

Oh, and french toast is one of those things you can experiment with - brioche bread, sourdough, baguette, croissant (toast before soaking in the egg mix), or plain old white bread.

French toast is a sweet breakfast food. I make it with brioche sliced to at least 1" thickness. It doesn't need to be soaked, just a quick dip, flip and into the pan. I like to serve mine with sliced strawberries macerated in sugar and whipped cream, but served with maple syrup and butter is the way I remember them from childhood. Add a couple fried eggs, sausage links, strips of American bacon, some hash browns and a glass of orange juice and mug of coffee and you have a full Sunday breakfast.

You guys are so cute!! Whenever my mother made French Toast she never actually "soaked" the bread -- she just dipped it into one egg/milk dish (first one side, then the other) and then popped it in the pan. We ate ours with butter and maple syrup -- no fruit -- but I know that is how they do it in restaurants now. And because of the maple syrup being messy we always ate it with a knife and fork.

If you have fruit on french toast you need some whipped cream on it. Its also good with butter and maple syrup. We make it on Christmas and put honey butter with toasted pecans on it, which is my favorite. It is also really good with fried glazed apples.

In France this is called "pain perdú", because it is a way to recover old bread. It actually works better with dried bread, because it soaks up the custard more. You can serve it with powdered sugar sprinkled on top, with fruit and optionally whipped cream, or with butter and maple syrup.

If you get farm eggs that aren't washed, you don't have to refrigerate them. Once you do refrigerate them, they need to stay refrigerated. If you get your eggs from the local grocery chain, those are washed and refrigerated, and you'll have to keep them refrigerated at home.

In the UK, Europe, and Mexico, even the eggs in the chain grocery stores are unwashed and do not require refrigeration. This is the case in most countries around the world except the U.S. and Canada. The eggs in U.S. and Canadian chain grocery stores are washed and require refrigeration. Washing the eggs removes a protective coating on them called the cuticle or the bloom, which prevents the eggs from spoiling at room temperature, which is why washed eggs need to be refrigerated.

@@richardpare3538 According to an April 2023 Spruce Eats article entitled "Why Are Eggs Refrigerated in the US but Not in Europe? Washing eggs makes them more susceptible to contamination" some chickens in other parts of the world that do not wash the eggs are vaccinated against salmonella. In addition, the intact protective coating (aka the cuticle or bloom) reduces the chances of salmonella entering the egg. According to Tiffany Swan, food scientist and chef, “salmonella isn’t as common in Europe [as in the US, and] hens may be vaccinated against salmonella. Plus, eggs aren’t cleaned with water so the protective coating stays intact, lowering the chances of salmonella entering the egg." The article indicates that in addition to the U.S. and Canada, which I mentioned previously, Japan and Sweden also wash their eggs. In the U.S., if you buy eggs from a local egg farmer that sometimes have traces of a feather or are never cold, the farmer may not be required to wash eggs or refrigerate them thanks to state laws. Swan advises that you wash local eggs with warm water and soap before using them. “Don't use cold water and don't submerge them, as this can push bacteria through the shell into the egg,” she says. Le says local eggs can be left on the counter as long as they aren't chipped or cracked, but as soon as the egg is washed at home it should be used immediately or refrigerated to minimize the risk of salmonella. Once an egg, no matter its origin, has been refrigerated, keeping it refrigerated until you’re ready to use it is important. If you leave a washed, refrigerated egg out at room temperature, throw it out if more than two hours have passed, explains Swan. “The risk of the bacteria proliferating at room temperature is pretty high, if it is present,” she says.

French Toast in the States is usually breakfast, but I've made it for dinner too. Usually served with sausage links or patties on the side.

In South Carolina, we eat breakfast any time of day, they even have "breakfast bars" (all the breakfast items you can imagine and fruit in one place... Shoney's Restaurant is known for that if you make it to SC some day) on Sundays and Wednesdays, because those are the days and evenings when many people go to church... that is why we are known as the "Bible belt of the South 😊 . We make French toast adding cinnamon and nutmeg, or a pumpkin spice blend to the egg mixture. If you use flavored creamers, we use that with the egg wash instead of milk. We also like to add chopped pecans, butter, and syrup (unfortunately I have to use sugar free due to diabetes), but yours looked delicious as well! I also like to use "Texas toast" which you had while you were in Florida at the BBQ restaurant. If you do use fruit, some powdered sugar and whipped cream are a great addition, thanks for sharing!!

I speculate that the major difference in appearance stems from the amount of egg-wash that gets cooked with the bread. I suspect the French toast in my area is prepared with less time soaking up the egg and more thoroughly dripped off before cooking. It ends up with a more cake-y and less bread-omelet-y consistency. (But, again, there's nothing wrong with a different style of French toast. It's just different.)

It's better to turn the fresh fruit into a quick compote. Keeps all those little berries and fruit chunks from rolling all over the place when you're trying to corral them for a bite. One really quick way to "compotize" fresh fruit is to stir it into a complementary flavor of store-bought fruit spread (not jam or preserves -- way too much sugar and not a good texture, I think). For example, last spring and early summer I had a crazy-big black raspberry harvest at my house. I stirred bunches of them, just plucked off the brambles and washed, into Crofters-brand "Blueberry Blast" fruit spread and used it for single-serving trifles. Some of the best stuff on Earth!!

Maple syrup is by far the the most common topping for French toast here in the USA followed by fruit with whipped cream but rarely fruit by itself. A good alternative for bread is French bread or ciabatta or Texas toast and Iearned over 40 years ago that when you mix the eggs and milk don’t mix it all the way just until blended with some streaks of yoke. I learned this from a family friend who was born and raised in France. Anybody who thinks this won’t work try it I’ve using the partially mixed method from a teenager to now at 60 and I will never go back to completely mixing the egg mixture ever again

By now, you've been told that we add cinnamon and drown it is syrup. We don't usually eat it with fruit, but here's a rule that you can always follow -- if something has raw fruit, you can ALWAYS add whipped cream.

Gotta have syrup and powdered sugar with it. Mrs H was spot on with that.

The little Hawaiian rolls cut in half make really good mini French toasts.

Maple syrup on French toast is the perfect pairing. Totally acceptable and preferred in Oklahoma.

So French toast is. A breakfast/brunch food typically. It’s good with lots of different toppings although I’ve never seen anyone pick it up with their hands and eat it that way 😂 you can put whipped cream on it and powdered sugar but the most common topping is maple syrup and cinnamon and of course butter!!

Love some French toast. A sprinkle of powder sugar or brown sugar and a smidge of butter and pour on the maple syrup. Yummy. Really looks good and delicious. Probably would leave off the fruit and prefer the maple syrup. Have the fruit on the side with some yogurt and cream. Making me hungry now 😂. Great video today guys.

YAY❣️ French toast was always something I looked forward to as a child. I still remember eating two slices of them with a warm cup of milk. Man I miss eating them.

Mr H is absolutely correct about US eggs being washed, per USDA (US Department of Agriculture) regulations. They MUST be refrigerated. Unfortunately, many Americans don’t know this-even grocery stores. Unwashed eggs are fine to store at room temperature.

You forgot the cinnamon. Maybe it's local or regional, but I've never made French toast without cinnamon added to all the other ingredients you used in the mix. Yes, it's mainly a breakfast dish with butter and syrup. I'm not sure when or where people started eating it with fruit and whipped cream, but that came relatively recently.

While sourdough is one my personal favorites for bread, I handily recommend a brioche for french toast. Higher egg saturation, better heat transfer, fluffier, and whatnot.

We always add cinnamon to those eggs (Mrs. H will love that) and maple syrup. Breakfast food for sure. Fruit on it would be delishous. I was born in Vermont so real maple syrup was a must. I have a cousin in VT who made and sold maple syrup in VT.

Love your cooking shows.

Like others said, I’ve never had French toast with sourdough bread, that seems odd to me. Now you have to try it with regular sandwich bread. And you don’t really need to soak it, just dip it on both sides and put it on the griddle, then treat it like a pancake and look for the nice color before you flip it over. Then put a big pat of butter on it and maple syrup and wolf it down. Yum!

I thought everyone ate French toast. We love it here. Sometimes, I make French food for dinner: French fries and French toast. 😂 I hope time flies so we can see how you like it. ps. I make mine with cinnamon in the egg when I fry it and I eat it with butter and maple syrup. ✌Hi from NYC.

Since I live alone, my french toast is simpler. shallow bowl, 1 egg, 1/2 cup milk, stir. sprinkle cinnamon on top, stir. Dip sliced bread into mixture, brown in non stick skillet. remove to plate, choice of toppings but I usually use maple syrup. I am not a big butter fan, but many people also use a slab of butter spread on it. In America we have a thick sliced bread called Texas Toast which is perfect for French Toast. (knife and fork, Mr. H, unless you are making French Toast sticks))

So we eat French Toast with butter and maple syrup, with a fork, never really pick it up and eat it "American style" lol Mrs. H was right about Mr. H inventing that. Generally if you get it at a Diner or Restaurant its sprinkled with powdered sugar, and you can get it with fruit or whipped cream or all sorts of things. I'm a purist and just like butter and syrup. Its generally a weekend breakfast, just because we don't eat much breakfast during the week. We do have breakfast for dinner sometimes and that usually means waffles or french toast, with hashbrowns and bacon.

Where is the cinnamon and nutmeg that should have gone in the egg mixture?

Some people like Cinnamon on their French toast. Melted butter on top of your French toast with a dash of Cinnamon/sugar and some Maple Syrup makes for a tasty breakfast combo.

It took you guys awhile to figure out the syrup part. That part is basically a staple here in the states. With French Toast, you can pretty much add whatever you want to it. I have had French Toast with Cocoa Pebbles cereal encrusted on the sides of the toast before.

One of the beauties of French Toast is the variety of toppings you can use. French Toast is usually topped with a sweet such as honey, syrup, powdered sugar, syrup and powdered sugar, or whipping cream or whipped topping. You can also forgo the fruit. You can go with Nutella or nut butters and syrup. You can do different fruit combos. Popular ones include Strawberry and Banana, Banana and Chocolate, Banana and Nutella/Peanut butter, Blueberries, Berries Mixes such as Blackberry, Raspberry, and others, Pineapple and the list goes on. You can add nuts as well, so a Chocolate Banana Nut is one of my favorite. You can also use the French Toast in Sandwiches, such as Sausage, Egg and Cheese or Ham Egg and Cheese.

We usually use sliced up French / Italian bread or usually whatever sandwich bread we have on hand. & We dip it into the beaten egg mixture very quickly so it's not so wet or mushy. Then we eat it with just butter & good maple syrup on it with a side of bacon or if we have fresh fruit then we sprinkle powdered sugar on it with fruit & a tiny bit of maple syrup. We love it.❤😊🥚🍞🧈🍓🍌🍁🍯

I always sprinkle granulated sugar on my French toast, which always made my friends look at me funny. My mom would sometimes put salt and pepper on hers to make a bit of a savory meal. We never put fruit on ours though.

Maple syrup ALWAYS. But there are many ways to eat it. Yours looks delicious!

I put cinnamon in the egg mixture and serve with syrup and powdered sugar and cinnamon.

Stale bread is always best with French toast. It doesn’t fall apart as fast and you can cook it slow and get a good toast on it. I always add cinnamon to mine. So good! And if you heat the butter and maple syrup together it thickens to a nice kind of caramel. So yum!!!

Eggs go in the fridge here since they have been washed...love French Toast!

I always have French toast with butter and maple syrup. I just dip the bread in the mixture, I don't ever soak it. Also, to make my butter much easier to spread, I never refrigerate it, I've kept my butter on the counter for many, many years and have never had it go bad. I can't wait to see your Texas videos. Iowa here. Keep up the great work. 👍

You can leave your butter out on the counter. Also, when I make French toast I don’t soak the bread I just coat it on both sides. Most Americans use butter and maple syrup on French toast.

Along with the other ingredients you used, I always add a little cinnamon to the French Toast mixture. Yes, we eat it with syrup on it. If it has fruit on it, then it is usually topped with whipped cream. Most people cut it with and knife and eat it with a fork because the syrup or whipped cream can get messy if you just pick up the French toast to eat it.

YES! Sourdough is definitely the best way to make French toast, If you can find some, add a good amount of cinnamon to the batter and if you want to get fancy add powdered/icing sugar onto the top. If you make a Monte Cristo, my favorite brunch sandwich, use a square loaf of thick cut bread.

my favorite version of French Toast during the Christmas holiday season is using egg nog instead of milk. We usually use a knife and fork.

My wife has her own hens and we don’t refrigerate or wash those eggs until we are going to use them. Store-bought eggs are always refrigerated as they have been washed. I bake my own French bread and allow the sliced bread to dry out for a few hours before soaking in the egg custard. The egg custard is 4 eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a half cup brown sugar. I fry the French toast in butter and maple syrup is a must. One of my friends will make a sandwich of the French toast with egg, bacon, and sausage. Truly wonderful, especially if you make your own bread. Darlington, South Carolina USA

From new England absolutely needs maple syrup, or if you're going the fruit route then you need whipped cream and powder sugar. This is what my family eats for breakfast on Christmas Day,. Ingredients Bananas Foster Topping 6 Tbsp salted butter ¼ cup dark brown sugar, packed 3 bananas, cut into 1-inch slices 4 Tbsp spiced rum Bananas Foster Bread Pudding 12oz French bread, stale and cut into 1-inch cubes 3 bananas, cut into ½-inch slices 4 large eggs, lightly beaten 2½ cups whole milk 1 cup heavy cream 4 Tbsp salted butter, melted 1 Tbsp spiced rum 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed 1 tsp ground cinnamon Rum Caramel Sauce 6 Tbsp salted butter ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed ½ tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp pure vanilla extract ¼ cup spiced rum ¼ cup heavy cream Directions Bananas Foster Topping In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the brown sugar until melted. Add the banana slices and sauté for about a minute. Then add the rum and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat. Bananas Foster Bread Pudding Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the stale bread cubes evenly in the baking dish. Mix 3 sliced bananas into the bread until evenly distributed. (I did one layer of bread, topped with a layer of sliced bananas, and then another layer of bread cubes.) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, butter, rum, vanilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined. (Ensure there are no lumps. I used an immersion blender to ensure the mixture was completely smooth.) Pour the egg mixture all over the bread and bananas in the baking dish. Press the bread down and tilt the dish from side-to-side to evenly coat the bread so it soaks up the egg mixture. Pour the bananas foster topping on top of the bread pudding and ensuring the bananas are evenly distributed. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set, but it still jiggles a little and the edges of the bread have browned. Rum Caramel Sauce In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and cinnamon and whisk until the sugar is melted. Add the vanilla, rum, and cream. Simmer the sauce, whisking constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Take the sauce off the heat until ready to serve. To serve, scoop the warm pudding onto dessert plates or into bowls. Top each serving with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with the rum caramel sauce, and serve immediately.with out the rum sauce and ice cream but makes a restaurant quality dessert if added.

I usually add some cinnamon to my French toast mix…. Here in America the eggs we buy from the “normal” market are usually cleaned so refrigerated. Eggs from a family’s own chickens or some farmers markets can be left out until cleaned. Mr. H is correct is has to do with the coating on the outside of the egg. The coating protects it some how.

I eat my French toast (when at home) like Mr. H. If I’m anywhere else, I eat French toast like Mrs. H. I do like mine topped with fruit and whipped cream. 😊 Good job on the French toast Mrs. H. They look delicious.

French toast, a breakfast dish, can be as simple or fancy as you want it. I just use normal white bread, eggs, milk, butter and syrup.CAN'T go without syrup! Butter for the pan and on the cooked toast... eggs and butter together for the mixture. once made I just add butter on each slice and syrup. oh and a nice glass of frosty cold milk. Some people like powdered sugar (confectioners) on top along with the syrup. AND we refrigerate our eggs. Makes the eggs last lots longer.

My mother always made french toast with cinnamon added to the egg mixture before dunking in the bread. We'd eat it with peanut butter and syrup. Fruit was always on the side for us.

We don’t put fresh fruit on French toast, pancakes, or waffles; it’s usually a fresh fruit compote with whipped cream on top. Butter and syrup are probably the most common way Americans eat any of these three delicious breakfast foods. I would add that bacon, eggs, hash browns are a necessary combination with the sweet. Breakfast is good any time of the day!!

The basic French toast is pretty much covered in the eggs and milk, pan fried, and then topped with syrup. You can top it with just about anything you want though, whipped cream, strawberry/chocolate/caramel sauce, fruit, bacon, nuts, etc. My personal favorite is sautéing apple slices in maple syrup with cinnamon!

French toast can be sweet or savory. There is no “wrong way” as long as you like it. Its cousin is the Monte Cristo” which is kind of a French toast and ham grilled cheese together. Dont forget raspberry jam/jelly!

As a chicken is laying an egg, she releases a fluid, called "bloom" that coats the egg and dries immediately, sealing it from contamination. Washing the egg removes that protection and like any open container, it then needs refrigeration. In the US, commercial farmers are legally required to wash eggs before packaging, supposedly to prevent salmonella, which has never really been a problem from unwashed eggs, but more from eating raw egg. But they passed the law anyway, so all eggs in the US must be washed and refrigerated before being sold commercially. In the UK, washing eggs isn't required by law, so they don't need refrigeration. Fresh laid eggs will keep on the counter for a couple of weeks or longer.

Thank you for that ! 👍🏻 ♥️

On my French Toast, I love putting butter, and syrup on it (Maple or another kind) and sometimes I do put fruit on it. One time I put strawberry jam on it and it tasted really good too. My sister's favorite way to eat French toast was to put strawberries and powered sugar or whipped topping/cream on it.

French toast is my absolute favorite breakfast. Yes, Syrup and butter, never tried it with fruit, but that looks amazing. As a poor man, I always used white sandwich bread. Awesome video!!!

WITH YOUR HANDS 😂😂, knife and fork 😂😂

Pro tip- use stale brioche and top with any combination of powdered sugar, maple syrup, fruit, whipped cream, Nutella, etc.

French bread is called pain perdu (lost bread) in French, and was a way to thriftily save day-old, stale bread. (You know how fast real French bread dries out.) Nowadays most people don't use old bread, but I tend to. Even regular bagged bread gets dryer, thus soaks up more of the egg mixture. Fork and knife, always buttered while hot out of the pan, then topped with maple syrup, or any other syrup, powdered sugar, honey, whatever sounds good! I grew up with Mom using egg, milk, and salt & pepper. ?? LOL. I don't measure, but don't use sugar. Just vanilla, cinnamon, and sometimes some cardamom with the milk and eggs. If you use a sturdy enough bread like your sourdough - nom! - you can soak it long enough that the inside gets almost custardy in contrast with the crisp outside. Also check out some breakfast casseroles made with bread instead of hash brown or tater tots. Layers of buttered bread, cooked bacon and/or sausage, fried onions, maybs grated cheese, then several cups of milk and eggs mixed together and poured over all. Usually left to soak in the baking dish in the fridge overnight, then into the oven for breakfast. Savory instead of sweet, also delicious!

Today is October 12th we have to wait 17 days for this video to premiere? 10/29/23 is 17 days from now! Did you put in the wrong date? Lol, enjoy your time in TEXAS and try and go to Buckees while your there!
