I wasn't gonna subscribe until I saw you use a whisk and a drill together. The future is here and you are it's harbinger
He didn't attach a whisk to a drill lol it's a common kitchen tool. Handheld electric mixer as opposed to the larger ones that sit on the counter with a big bowl
I saw!! I felt like a fool for not thinking of this ingenious idea. I was whisking egg whites yesterday and the electric whisk stopped working. I wish I watched this video yesterday, it would've saved my wrist... Subscribed to the tribe!
Zachary Adler No. That's a drill.
This is definitely a drill. He has used it before in his videos.
He attached a drill to a meat grinder as well, but that didn't work. Check out his french onion soup video.
I made the guilty version and put on top some banana and some homemade salted caramel sauce. It was divine but I'm so bloated and feel like I've eaten my daily calorie intake before midday.
i made three, stacked on top, with jam in between, and I couldn't even eat half. Holy fucking shit, it is an unbelievable amount of calories!!
You probably have
😂
Him: The most important part...the bread. Or as we call it in france...
Me: Le Pain?
Him: Ze Bread
Me: !!!!!
Ikr
Oui, when we go to ze boulangerie we say always "Donnez-moi du Ze bread, please" 🤓
AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA I just scrolled down and that part came up while I was reading this HAAHAHAHAHA
Caruso James u say please not’ silvousplait’
Bruh that's just my life; le pain.
I immediately went to the kitchen as soon as I watched this video and made the best French toast I've ever made. To be fair, it was the very first time I've ever made French toast, but it was fantastic nonetheless. Thanks Alex!
it sticks because of the sugar in the banana. A non-stick pan is de rigeur for this variant.
Thanks for the tip. I will try this.
Andre Cornut ss xfxCfsvcbcvxdTV NYC TV m videos game
Susannah Ayres-Thomas I dont think so, it might be the maple syrup because I made the recipe but I didn't put maple syrup, i did with brown sugar and it didn't stick to the pan.
Fernanda Dias How much brown sugar did you use?
"Because of the combination of sugars and natural, uncooked starches I think."
Cooked or not, all starches are natural. Fuck off.
Indulgent french toast will always be there for you. Indulgent french toast will always love you.
In The Netherlands we use brown sugar as a topping and leave out the refined sugar.
We also call French Toast "little tumble bitches" (wentelteefjes).
Firefox is red, Explorer is blue. Google+ sucks and Chrome does too. i like this 😂
In Germany we call them "poor Knights" (arme Ritter)
Pie Pe in Swedish we called the the poor knight too!!! Now I know where we got that from
I've never heard of savoury Arme Ritter.. that's interesting tho I'd call that something like Brotauflauf or Brotpudding or something similar and we'd make it in the oven not in a pan..might be different for different parts of Germany
Firefox is red, Explorer is blue. Google+ sucks and Chrome does too. Heel heel heel mooi vertaald.
French Toast is my favorite breakfast. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. So my joy is greatest when I get to have French Toast for breakfast. It is the first recipe that I learned. A neighbor taught me when I was 7 years old. That was a long time ago. Thank you!
Try adding a large spoonful of tapioca starch (or tapioca flour) into the vegan version. I make something similar and it help create a better crust, and more so gives it more of a custard-like texture! :)
Thanks!
Topings? Honeycomb with a mint leaf on top, and sprinkle some crushed hazelnuts. Then add a bit of grated dark chocolate. Supremely luxurious!
Creative yet perfect!
great job alex dude! fair play on the 100k great work!
Pleasure ! my irish Lovely wild vegan brothers !!!
congratulations
@@FrenchGuyCooking you need to use a non stick frying pan so it doesn’t stick
Alex: "And now for the most important part:"
Me: "The bread"
Alex: "The bread, or as we call it in France:"
Me: "Le pai-"
Alex: "Ze bread"
xD
5:23 “Your hungover, she breaks up with you, then you snap your toe on the side of the bed” 😂
Last part clearly the worst that could happen
Just came back from my once in a lifetime trip from Europe and had pain perdu in Paris. Best thing I have ever eaten! Thanks for the recipe!
Here in Brasil (and in Portugal) we call this RABANADA, and it's very popular as a dessert for Christmas dinner. There are some differences in how it is done. For example, we don't mix the milk and the eggs toghether, and we fry those in a lot of oil, just like french fries. The result is more like a pudding. ;)
BRAZIOU ! Interesting stuff
Marcio Castro And at the end of the process, we cover them with a layer of cinnamon powder & sugar mixed together. The best desert ever 💕 Alex you should try doing this anytime! you'll love it
É, eu estava me perguntando se realmente era a mesma receita....
Not the same thing. Also a way to use stale bread but is totally different
at home we do mix the milk and eggs together, thats the custard, why would you separate? We might use condensed milk as well though. And after the frying cover them in sugar and cinnamon plus a dollop of doce de leite, maybe a walnut on top. Delicious
You are the first french youtuber who speaks english with a big french accent this confidently. You speak english well yet you don't have the accent. On te comprend quand même donc c'est le principal, merci pour cette vidéo
First..you are one of my favorite TH-cam cooks. Cooking at home is something that started about a year ago and it has really changed my life. I used to eat out pretty much every meal. Anyway...one of my favorite series you have done is Pizza (there is a point, stick with it). At one point you talk about yeast, but in the US the only option I can find is dry yeast. I bought the book Josey Baker Bread (which is great and he has many videos as well) and he gets into a sour dough starter that I have made from scratch. DUDE! I **MADE** yeast! So wonder if I can use that in the pizza dough? Also, the French are known for bread. I visited France many years ago and someone told me that (because of the French Revolution) the law was you could only sell bread in France on the day it is made. Is that true? Still true? I heard the reason was French people are less likely to revolt if they have food in their stomachs. Maybe making croissants is beyond a quick TH-cam video recipe, but what about French baguettes? Or other types of French bread? That was my favorite! Fresh French baguette with jam and coffee. Shit! I may move to France soon. So good. After seeing this, really think something on making bread would be great. Since making French Toast really requires uncut bread, which you don't find in the US. Thanks, Alex!
Love your comment bro. So much wild love in there :) I made a video on how to make French Rustic Bread there : th-cam.com/video/1r6jV-MaQuc/w-d-xo.html
Also, it's true that Bakeries here only sell freshly baked bread. But it's like everywhere some of them are awesome, some of them just reheat frozen sh*t. So stocked you made your sourdough starter, seems lie you're hooked ! I love that. Keep it up
Jason Bunnell you can easily find uncut bread in the US. It's at the bakery section of the grocery store. If they don't have any that day you can just ask them not to cut one the next day or go early when it's all stocked.
Why would a baker sell old bread? What you said happens in Italy too
What is better for a business? Sell old product for a discount and make a little money or throw all that product (bread) out and lose all that product and profit.
fresh bread never gets old here, if you enter a bakery almost at closing time you'd notice that 99% of the bread is gone
Thank you for your video. My version of French Toast is a super guilty one! For my egg wash I use egg nog. Which is great because sometimes you can get different flavors, and if I'm up for it, sometimes I make it from scratch. I don't stale my bread!! Instead I use a very dense think slice of a Demi loaf. It can withstand the soaking because it's already firm. As for toppings....I emaserate strawberries and roast and caramelize pecans
I would add a photo but don't know how.
Ughhhh I stubbed my toe... I get the butter toast 😏😏
I live in Kansas in the US and growing up my dad made french toast at least once a week for us. He still makes it for my mom and the only way he ever makes it is the indulgent way with butter and he tops it with butter and real maple syrup from Canada. I've never had it any other way.
I am from Bulgaria and my Mom had always done the third version! So we had French toast only once a year after Easter?!
I only now realize, it could be done easier... I am definitely getting fatter :D
yamaksy I am from Bulgaria too, but I've always made the first version. It turnes out amazing. But my father told me that French toast should be made with jams, not fresh fruit. Don't know if it is true.
You want to be really bad? Fry the toast in bacon fat.
Oooh you sick bastard
dirtybaystrangler that's just disgusting
dirtybaystrangler Uch
it's a joke
chaotic evil
its the banana that sticks. also, banana's foster makes a great topping. also nutella and a dollop of loosely whipped cream. or maple syrup and crispy panchetta.
I love that the indulgent one is the closet to American french toast lol "a bit higher in calories"
More oil for the vegan version; oil in the batter, oil in the pan to stop it from sticking. Also grapeseed oil. Higher smoke point. Use over ripe bananas and you'll need less maple syrup also prevent sticking.
Bukki Isaacs another way of making vegan french toast is to use instant custard powder (the egg free kind that is just corn flour and vanilla)
to not kill animals :D
Im not vegan to be healthy 😂
vegan banana french toast, great idea. i usually do the first version, but now i’m going to try all three.
he can cook, he has a beautiful accent, charming....he's so cute! 😍😍😍
#blushing
ikr
yeah french accent sounds sweet
He's such a sweet boy. Plz be my chef daddy
I always felt stupid not knowing what French toasts were supposed to be... turns out it’s been one of my family’s speciality all along.
Congratulations Alex!!! love your studio, your french toasts and your hairstyle!!
Felicitas Pizarro hey
Am I the only one who noticed no glasses and he’s wearing makeup?
Yeah me to
This makes him look like a french cleaning lady.
He has makeup??
@@LittleLilaKatBoo Are you kidding? It's so heavily applied that if this cooking thing would stop working he could open a makeup glam channel.
No
i remember when i was in middle school with zero cooking skill, i used to make french toast by mixing beaten egg and condense milk. Now that i'm older, still no cooking skill, i'm glad i learned the real way of making these. I always eat them plain, no topping team!
Intention and good will is all what matters. No topping team indeed
I am a vegan and I actually pass on the maple syrup, add vanilla bean paste, and add a wee bit of sugar instead,. Then I add cornstarch to the batter. I use a nice ceramic non-stick pan and it is always perfect. I love my cast iron but it has some sticking issues with this recipe. I had an inspiration from your first french toast. I sprinkled sugar onto the wet batter, then cooked it, this created a crisp french toast. I am looking at my bag of french pearl sugar and am thinking of experimenting....... You rock French Guy!
It's similar to 'roti telur' (Translate Malay to English-> Egg bread/Omelet bread/ whatever you want to call it in English so that it makes sense to you bread) except minus the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract. But dang, French toast makes me drool more. Gotta try make this!
+schmatever Huh, never knew that actually. Thanks for the info though ^-^ ( No I'm not insulting, please don't get me wrong, I am gtateful for the info)
+Farah Sofiah great attitude, power to you!
+schmatever and British got French toast from French who colonized you... lmaooo roast
+N and R french toastception or... okay, I don't know what to call it
+schmatever I think I should delete my comment soon
You're hungover, she broke up with you, and you stubbed your toe on your way out of bed.... hahaha that got me 🤣
I'm hungover right now but too much so to go get bread from the market! Next time I'm planning on being drunk, I'm going to make sure I have all the ingredients for the super indulgent one beforehand.
+Kristin Marie LOL !
I always crave cheese after drinking, so I buy cheese and bacardi together for a wild weekend. ;) Nothing better then a grilled cheese the morning after.
As a person from Wisconsin, I literally always have cheese in my house :)
I was about to say: No. 3 please, when I realized I have all the ingredients needed. Its frying on my stove top as I write this - I cannot wait to taste them. Smells beautiful.
I'm curious, as a person who's allergic to cows milk, would u make a video about different non-cow's milk cheeses and what fits with different dishes etc. would be awesome :P !!!
Don't bulk post your messages. I don't know so many lactose-free cheeses over here, but yes that is interesting.
Linus is just giving a god damn suggestion? Linus is not the only one in this word allergic to regular milk, so the video would be appreciated by plenty of people. About "all that work", are you serious? You make it sound like he has to build a house with his own bare hands. Stop being that rude, he wasn't harassing you?
Haha tack :) fick mig å skratta också ^^
Lejla Isic the reality is no one is really evolved to drink cows milk. My grandmother would even say "cows milk is for baby cows" lol we can get calcium from other foods too.
You can actually buy lactose enzyme pills if you are referring to being lactose intolerant.
Dear Alex, I simply have to say, I love your videos, your sweet atelier and of course you!
Your videos inspired me in a very difficult time in my life, just by watching you, in a very short time I started to get back on my feet and I somehow became very passionate about cooking and all the wonderful things around it! I bought a cast iron skillet and even tried to make/personalize my own knife! I just wanted to congratulate you on your 100k subs also I wanted you to know about the direct impact you had in my life, and for that I am forever grateful.
Salut! Love your humor Alex, and the accent. :) French toasts are one of my favorite breakfasts and it's the first one I learned how to cook. I usually do the lighter version of it, but I add coconut to the mix, so it's more crispy. And I my favorite topping is peanut butter and cooked bananas. Thanks, I'm hungry right now haha
I love your creative description of a good reason to make the guilty version of French toast.
He sounded really English when he said wrappers at the end. Weird.
Nah he's french mate
LM VS lool i thought the sameee
He think he made one of those "eur" sounds that are typical french stuff 😂
Guess we know why Brits speak the way they do now...:)
LM VS He must have worked in UK he communicates beautifully
Hi. In Spain we have a similar one: Torrijas. It's typical during Eastern. The main difference is that eggs are not mixed with the milk, but used to cover the bread after bathing it with the milk.
Guilty version all the way 👌👍Congratulations for the 100k subs!👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎊
...my mother used to do the classic French toast recipe but also put some lemon zest into the egg mixture before dunking the bread...after cooking sprinkle with sugar...yum
It's so weird that this old video popped up in my feed. I was literally about to get up and make French Toast.
Google are watching!
i always do mine with 2 bathes, one with milk/sugar/vanilla then another with the eggs and a tiny bit of cinnamone
and for the cooking use salted butter instead of any kind of oil (i'm living in western france where we're kind of extremists about butter cooking...)
as for the choice of the bread, get any of wich you prefer, i tend to like french toast made with stale bread which actually explains the habits of the two bathes :) but when i'm doing this as a dessert for my friends they love it when i go with brioche, salted buttered caramel, and cooked apple, like a super guilty "french toasted tatin"
"The bread. Or, as we call it in France, ze brrred" :D so glad I found this channel
Just made the first one. The wife loved it. Thanks
I love your accent it's amazing
I always make them without sugar but salt or seasoning that I put on top after cooking, makes it a savory version of "french toast" maybe not everyones cup of tea, but definetly my favorite, and you can also make open sandwiches that way, its basically a pimped egged-up bread, and you can do so much things with it...
thanks for the vegan version Alex! its been forever since i had french toast hehe
Great video!!! The topping I use for French toast is fried banana in butter, with a little yogurt! ( I cut the banana in half and then again lengthwise, before peeling). And I like to use sourdough bread.
The glasses! 👓 I need them back
My grandmother makes the Indulgent French Bread all the time! THAT'S how I grew up!
I just did this with hardened bread and I swear it was like an orgasm.
Thanks for the video and recipe🍞❤️☺️❤️❤️
I made this with some slight variations for my little nephew and I and he LOVED it. Thank you!
The problem with food being unhealthy is not if it is high or low in calories, but its nutritional profile.
Exactly.
My go to topping is fresh strawberries and fresh whipped cream. So good.
In Sweden we call french toast "Fattiga riddare" in english: "Poor knights"
Same in German "Armer Ritter", poor knight
In Norway we also use a variant from German, Arme riddere
Dutch: wentelteefjes which means tumbling b*tch
Thank you for this lesson! Seriously, produced the best french toast I have ever had. My husband and I were in heaven eating this.
Thank you so much for making a vegan version, it looks delicious!
Hello Alex I com frome Slovakia and we do french toast salty way. First try to use normal bread (not a toast). Cover it just in egg batter whit a pinch of salt. Bake it on a pan as usual. Here goes the toping - mustard onion and some baked ham. I hope you like it;)
What I Like To Do Is Whisk An Egg With Milk And Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar Then Coat Both Sides With Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese And Sprinkle On Just A Little Bit Of Fresh Basil ^_^
Chocolate from the Americas, Balsamic Vinegar from Italy, Cheddar Cheese from England. How the hell is that French? :)
Okay, I have a tip you will love. Really simple, really nice. Add 3 gram's of lemon pepper Chocolate to the top while in the pan. It is white chocolate with red pepper and lemon, you hardly taste the pepper, but when cooked right it is the best thing to add I have ever tasted.
I love that you make vegan versions too.
But he did use animal products. Why are you trying to justify his behavior of blending baby chicks in a masserator on their first day of life? ..Seperating mothers from their calfs and they will never get to see each other again, cause the milk that is meant for the baby calf, is fed to humans. There is no excuse for animal abuse. He could have just made the vegan version. There is no need to sacrifice any lives for that dish because no animal deserve to be abused.
@@Frida_vegan Fyi an egg is not baby chick :P none of the eggs in retail ever get fertilised, maybe a class in biology would do you some good :D
My mom always made us a variation of a Mexican torta with french toast, she spread some bean paste on the lower slice, put some ham and Laurel (similar to cheddar) cheese on top, and closed the sandwich with another slice of french toast, I would love to put ketchup on top, and it eat it with a knife and fork.
Oh shyt, I've been having the guilty one for my entire life. I made it extra guilty by adding peanuts butter and Nutella in between the bread before soaking it in the 'batter'. looks like this explains my chubby tubby ;)
Ooooh shit that sounds amazing.
J'aime beaucoup ce que vous faites; les recettes, votre studio, votre personnalité, votre station au complet💕💕💕gros sourire & bonjour du Canada!
Remember when Alex only had 100k subs?
Pepperidge farm remembers
So does TH-cam as it's memorialized.
but do you remember when he didnt even have 1,000? I do.
I don't get it
I went to the bakery and got a loaf of 1/2 inch slices of sourdough bread. I used your first version French toast recipe: it was delicious. Next time, I’m using the butter.
3:46 vegan version.
Elliot Langdon thankss
Elliot Langdon THANK YOU.
Elliot Langdon anyone notice every time I go to watch a vegan video on TH-cam, there is a bacon or chicken commercial before it plays? just me?
Elliot Langdon Hahaha thank you, watched the whole thing anyway ._.
I have the same, but for me it's MacD or a dairy product?
I cooked following this recipe and the result was the best french toast I've ever eaten. Thank you!
Alex, I love you! Lol! I use butter melted on the cooked French Toast then drizzle with honey, so good!
any fruit jelly toping from strawberry to orange is A KILLEEER!!! :)))
I think vegan version is quite sticky because of sugar content in banana make it stick and burn really fast.
You mean, as opposed to the four table spoons of sugar in the non-vegan version?...
Here in Brazil we have a similar dish - "rabanada". It takes the same ingredients but the process is different, and it is usually eaten around christmas.
l accent français des famille mdddr le meilleur
I've never ever had french toast in my life because we have Bundáskenyér here in Hungary. It's similar to FT but we add salt to the eggs and some people add milk too. I think the time has come to try french toast already 😊
I live that you are so vegan friendly... j'aime ton channel (i'm so bad at french)
j'adore ton accent français! je suis un étudiant qui étude le français et quand s'entend ton voix c'est comme le magique!! aussi bon vidéo !!
Toping idea: thin slices of figs and pears in marsala reduction with mascarpone.
Add a pinch of black salt to the clean version batter, that will give it a bit of an eggy taste. Nice video!
So glad you lost the makeup, you don't need it, Au Natural.
Au naturel
Where is he wearing makeup what why is he wearing
I was thinking, "is he wearing makeup?"
Three years of hard work and you're up to a million subs! Amazing Alex. Take care.
Still looking for the perfect topping?
Lingonberry preserves.
You're welcome.
I’m a little late to the party but growing up my family always put peanut butter on pancakes and French toast. If you put it on immediately it gets all melty and you don’t need much to impart a lot of flavor. I suggest milk to drink if you try this as it pairs well with the sweet/nutty taste.
Your sandwich bread looks like brioche? Did you means to say sliced bread? But don't worry about my critical questions. I like your series so much, I am learning France.
Votre pain sandwich ressemble à de la brioche? Avez-vous l'intention de dire du pain en tranches? Mais ne vous inquiétez pas de mes questions critiques. J'aime tellement ta série, j'apprends la France.
No, he meant sandwich bread, because it's sandwich bread: www.joyofbaking.com/images/facebook/whitesandwichbread.jpg
“I am learning France”
Ok.
(France is the country, French is the language) Good for you for learning another language. Il n’y a pas beaucoup de gens qui peuvent faire ça!
How cute he is, being happy about that 100k.. now he‘s almost at 1.5 million. Great Channel!! Nothing else to say.
you forgot the cinnamon and the nutmeg lol but how do i know
I love French Toast. It's literally the first thing i learnt to cook, followed by scrambled egg
Merci beaucoup ! By the way, does it bother you that here in the US we call many things French, even if they're not? Haha!
Frank Pichardo French toast is French as far as I know
But French fries are Belgian!
Someone on another post said French toast is not a French dish. Originated In Belgium or somewhere.
I just absolutely lost it when he said "Or as we call it in France: ze bread". As a former English teacher in France, this hits home.
Your guilty version is just the American version tbh. It's how I've made mine for years.
Apply the same rule to every recipe known to humankind.
Alex you are the man! the guilty version is my go to one, so good! Being valentines day, this is the perfect morning present to a woman. Covered with strawberries, and a glass of champagne ;) No need for diamond earrings or other gifts!
Why my guy got makeup on
A great topping for French toast is quartered plums tossed in a little bit of brown sugar and vanilla essence and then roasted in the oven for a little bit. Also tastes good in porridge.
Why are you wearing make up? 🤔
Not your business
Wild blueberries make a heavenly topping. In the US, there is a frozen brand, Wyman's, which is amazing. The blueberries are sweet and taste like blueberries -- you do not need to add sugar with these
favorite topping : chevre cheese and honey
I like it simple but add less sugar in the batter and more salt as i am on the savory side, but i won't skip over the sprinkle of sugar to make it caramelize, great tip. usually only top mine with a tineyyy stream of honey, but the chevre takes it to another level
Get bread that's even thicker, cut it most of the way in half, of at least clean cut enough that you can put toppings IN the french toast. Pump in strawberry or blueberry or even raspberry preserves and cream cheese, then close it back up, soak it shortly, then pan cook like you would normally. It's amazing, and no need for sugar on the outside.
