I've never seen a pan look like that. Did they sand blast it?
Use warm tap water to tempera the eggs or the butter won't mix with the batter.
Interesting recipe. I will try this!
Why can't you just let people see the recipe?
Didn’t work at all. Bread stuck to the pad and shredded when I tried to flip it
Love this method completely. Always make two pans, and freeze the rest for another day. I highly recommend using Brioche bread. You'll thank me often …..
Great Idea… love the idea of crispy bits…
Sold!! Thank you!!
TBH, I will stick with my griddle. That feeds quite a few people at a time. That just really looks like dry toast. I generally use challah and always use powdered sugar. Thanks for the video and an alternative!
Imagine using thick sliced challah bread in that type mixture?? Omg yum
Love this FRENCH TOAST technique
Love french toast but as a diabetic with high blood pressure I couldn't do this at all unless I subed stevia for sugar.
Now, I'm hungry.
Mmmmmm ❣️❤️❣️❤️❣️
Incredible! Thanks for all your great cooking tips! Love ATK 😎
My French toast is wonderful and a lot easier and faster than this.
I didn't realize before that French toast is essentially bread pudding. A custard-based bread pudding might be even easier for a crowd.
This looks amazing! Will definitely give this a try. Thank you😍
I don't have time to make French toast in the oven..
The thumbnail looks gross. First step is to use a good quality bread–thick-sliced, not white bread slices–like a cholla or a brioche.
A standard cookie sheet pan is not big enough for 8 slices, and so you need to reduce the custard for fewer slices of bread. Also, I think a non-stick pan would be better. I greased my pans a lot, but still some stuck so it was a little hard to check if the bread was ready to move up to the broiler. Otherwise, a very tasty french toast recipe.
YOU BOTH LADIES ARE GREAT AND BUTTERY, AND SYRUPY.🤣🤣
I am going to make this right now and freeze it for an easy breakfast. Ty! 🎉EDIT; made and frozen = DELICIOUS 🤤
Yuck. Pain perdu should be made with baguette.
Omg 😳 63 & thrilled to try this! Thanks So Much!
Broiler ?? I imagine you mean a Grill. Thanks
I spice mine up, too…..usually with cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar and a little vanilla…not nearly as much as here, however….the butter is a nice touch…but another tip I learned is to put corn starch in the batter to give it a little crisp texture on the outside.
I use a two burner griddle so I can fit 6 or 8 on….but using a sheet pan is a good idea for uniformly.
looks terrible.
That looks yummy, but I don't need to make more than two slices at a time. I scramble the left over egg mixture and freeze it. Then I use it in my fried rice.
yum
Love it ❤
Could I use salted butter and eliminate the added salt?
Yum
Use Cinnabon bread it the bomb!
Easy? Really? Do you know how long it would take to clean this up? And I have to get the oven ready? Are you kidding me? I wake up half dead and you want me to start BAKING? And then I have to use BOTH BURNERS in the oven? And this is EASIER? It looks delicious but the LABOR? MY WAY?
Make egg sugar batter (use vanilla creamer as a shortcut.
Heat As seen on TV copper no stick pan
Cook, pour extra batter on French toast in the pan and cook it with the French toast.
Clean up? Rinse pan – DONE!
And who doesn't;t like their French toast to be soggy? It's better that way. The extra batter goes on the French toast to make bread pudding like French toast. Your way is 10 times the work
wonderful recipe and execution. Very enjoyable
Wow can’t wait to try that
3:05 – I know these things are staged, and I’m ok with that. But at 3:05, you see Julia resting her arm on an oven door that’s supposed to be 425 degrees… LOL
If there were a Nobel prize for cooking….
l,M GOING TODO THIS NOW
So clever!
I run the Cast Iron !
Sorry, never liked this version. Egg and Milk Soak bread sides. Fry! Makes excellent French toast.
I am not a cinnamon fan in my French Toast. I like using a good Italian Loaf thick sliced. My custard has 3 Eggs, 1 Heaping TBSP White Sugar, 1 TSP Salt, 1 TBSP Vanilla Extract, 1/2 Cup of Half and Half. This is a savory/sweet French Toast. I have as shaker of Powdered Sugar with Cinnamon for those who want Cinnamon. For regular, I drop a bit of powder sugar into sifter to dust tops. Good Cooking Everybody!
I like that Kings Hawaiian bread…nice texture/taste. I'm filing this away though. I may have company someday.
