Dear claire, FYI in Spain we eat a very similar version of french toast or pain perdu called Torrijas. It is a tipical desert of easter. delicious!!!
Maybe I missed something but is there something in Claires oven 😏
have you ever been to chico, CA? i swear i've seen you here before
Yum. Thanks.
Y'all, please don't mispronounce challah like Claire does in this video. It's pronounced CHallah, with a "guttural" CH sound. It is NOT pronouced like the word "holla".
The same goes for Chanukah. It is not "Hanukkah", it is Chanukah. The CH is there for a reason. It's the same sound as in Bach or loch. Please stop neglecting it.
Clair you have to try the Spanish version of this. It’s called torrija and it’s so much better!
@CSaffitz – PLEASE get that black stripe on your left thumbnail checked out by a dermatologist!!!
Would love your take on panettone!!! I know it’s late for this year but maybe next year 😊
HEY PLEASE DO A VIDEO REMAKING POPULAR CERAL BAR BRANDS!!!!!!!!!
Wow is claire pregnant witb triplets
My question is are you 4 feet tall? Orrrrr is the pot filler installed to high?😮
I'm sad at 11:17 they didnt put a smiley face on the toast , cuz that was a very nice pat
If you forget to stale your bread, a few minutes in a food dehydrator (or air fryer with a dehydrate mode) works well to dry it out.
👍
hi claire, love your recipes! here at the south hemisphire we are in the yellow fruits season! how about a jelly made with those kind of fruits so we can enjoy eating with the french toast like you guys do with mixed berries?
I do my own version, where i substitute white sugar with coconut sugar in my milk and egg mix, and substitute vanilla extract for almond extract. Its amazing! But now im wondering if i should caramelized my coconut sugar like you did instead!
You confirmed a recipe i was thinking of
I get so confused when you say "it isn't too sweet" as a selling point for foods whose hole purpose is to be indulgently sweet. @_@??? It's really bewildering! I think you said it four times in this video. I kind of think maybe you dislike sweet foods? <:(
Made these today, and they are absolutely incredible. Challah is definitely the way to go, just sliced it and left it covered on the counter all night to make it stale.
Am I seeing a “bun in the oven”!! She is glowing! Either way, so happy for her and love her baking ❤
the cooked left over custard goes on top of the chef stack
Bread pudding?
Claire, you are a beautiful person. Happy holidays to you and yours.
I remember my dad making French toast for my older brother (7 years older) when I was really little, like 4 or 5. I thought it was gross and wouldn't eat it 'cause I saw him put milk and eggs on bread. I would eat boiled or scrambled eggs, but I didn't have French toast until I was an adult. I ordered some from the restaurant my mom works for, and I finally understood what the fuss was all about. I love the channel, Claire, and i really love seeing the kitty cats!
This was so satisfying and comforting to watch. Multiple times I exclaimed "Oh my lord!" Happy Holidays to you and yours, Claire!
I think you could do a cool review of this guy's YouTube channel and the food he makes.

I made these this morning and it was legitimately the best french toast I've ever had. Nice crunchy outside, with soft and smooth custardy inside. The only thing I changed was I used my lebkuchen soice blend. I will definitely use this as my go-to from now on
6:46 nice googly eyes 👀
I KNOW this is a technique approach with the sugar. However, I would rather heat the cream enough which would alloww me to mix in the sugar for it to dissolve. Then add the cold milk and eggs and blend it.
This would more evenly and EASILY, provide a that sugary goodness throughout the French toast. Still providing a nice crust.
SUBSCRIBED!
Wait what did I miss! She is pregnant 🤰
진짜 듸지게 맛있겠다
Adding some freshly made latkes would make this the perfect Hanukkah breakfast.
I wanna give her camera crew each a big kiss, they so perfectly interact with her
@CSaffitz you always do a great job!!! Thank you! What is a fruit and chocolate pie? Would the fruit filling be on top or bottom of the chocolate? 🔥
Looks like there may be a bun in the oven.
You should do a vanilla cake with raspberry filling recipe!
Aww, my families traditional Christmas breakfast has now been shown to everyone:(
Y'all really think a breakfast should contain this much sugar? 😅
Why's Claire always burning breakfast?
That tilted "verdict" fucked me up.
Love the vids
I thought I was the only one who ate lunch or leftovers for breakfast.
Cooking breakfast for a crowd can be a minefield. I once tried making matzobrei for a bunch of new friends bc my family had always loved it. While waiting for the expected mmms and yums, I instead had to wince at the "what is this, fried saltines?" commentary from the (non-Jewish) group. Total mortification.
Looks amazing.. but I've got to have bacon with my breakfast. 😋 bacon ❤
Thanks for the video
OMG!! those eyes
I used to dislike french toast too because of the strong eggy smell and soggy texture, until I put sugar on both sides to make crust. So delicious and no turning back. I won't have french toast any other way
