I love how he always says to “measure carefully” and then totally eyeballs everything. Makes me laugh every time.

[@marinac9854]

😂😂😂 yea I was like wtf good recipe though 😅

[@jodybruch829]

Perfect every time😊

[@PastaMakerCordy-qy4uz]

I don’t measure either

[@virgilmccabe2828]

Also I love how he is realistic with regard to ingredients.Many chefs are insisting that you need certain ingredients but he acknowledges that you can’t always get the best so offers alternative choices and then proceeds to make a wonderful result

[@briancantale2674]

Because he’s a chef, he cooks by instinct, whereas the home cook would need to follow recipes and measurements. Those things are stored in a chefs brain

[@aimeeromberger6546]

Chef, if everyone were as "nuts" as you, the world would be a much happier place. Thank you for being you. ❤

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you 🙏

[@ninethperez8947]

excellent I don't know much English but I understood a little and enjoyed watching the video and his way of cooking and expressing fascinated me: I reei how he explains very funny: thanks for that advice to toast the bread I didn't know:❤

[@MrUntapishtim]

He is not nuts at all. He is wonderful!

[@Crosley3251]

Speaking of "nuts" , a sprinkle of chopped Pecans would be a nice touch.

[@guufylvr]

Chef Jean: "measure everything carefully" Proceeds to not measure anything 😂

No need to measure butter! 👍🤣

[@khaelamensha3624]

Ernst is right about butter and if I may add another point, chef can meas3things by habit. When we need a scale they just put the right amount 😂 Like my butcher when I ask meat he cut the piece and is never 15gr away from the target.

[@GotWag]

As a child in the 60's my favorite breakfast was 'pain perdu', or lost bread that my grandmother would cook. Only plain white bread in simple egg, milk and vanilla, and then powdered sugar on top. I suppose we didn't have 'fancy' breads or other ingredients to add in. Anyway, it is a fond memory for me and a dish I cook every so often. One day I'll have to try this 'souped up' version, I am sure it is delicious. Sometimes though, I think we have some of our earliest 'fond' memories that involve food, and the way it was cooked by, perhaps, our grandmother...and no other recipe, no matter how 'good', ever comes close. In any case, as always, thank you chef for sharing. I'm looking forward to adding a bit of Grand Marnier to my lost bread!

[@dannymacdougall366]

Made this for the third time. Best french toast.

[@mauricearpin7946]

Chef Jean-Pierre, for Canadians, Maple Syrup is like butter is to you. You can never have to much❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheKnuckleDragger]

Hello my friend! I know this video is a few months old now, but I wanted to let you know how this worked out for me. My wife likes my cooking (thanks chef!). She had mentioned in passing that she had been craving French toast, and that we should hit up our favorite little breakfast place sometime soon. Yesterday morning (Sunday), I let her sleep in and went for it. All I had for berries were strawberries, but I made a syrup with them and some Myers rum. Fantastic!! I made the French toast pretty much the same as yours, with a side of thick-cut bacon. My wife said this was the best French toast she had ever had. I told her that if you want to make great French toast, you consult a great French chef!! As always, Thank You Chef!!

[@albundy5228]

Love this! Never thought about toasting the bread...learned something new! Thank you, Chef!

[@Dayhawk001]

“Adult Version” without a doubt the best holiday breakfast……….Mommy and Daddy sure get happy Christmas morning.

[@pica6888]

Hi Chef, I made your French toast this morning and it was heavenly. A little trick my great aunt told me years ago was to put a little oil in with the butter. It makes the French toast crispy

[@crex8751]

it has never even occurred to me to sauté fruits, looking at the strawberry's, raspberry's and black berry's sautéing in that butter made my mouth water. I have learnt more about cooking in the last 2 weeks than I have my whole life, hats off to you Chef and thanks.

[@LucasAlves-ni2vd]

It's a pretty common thing to do and it's amazing

Ahhhhhhh…. Toast the bread! Genius- I’m tired of mine being soggy. Thank you Chef!

[@freespeech.7254]

[@rollandnewcomb5524]

Never thought of toasting the bread first to keep it from getting soggy. Great tip and thanks for the explanations as to WHY! Your tips telling WHY you should do something makes a huge difference!

[@Madmax-jg7kw]

French toast is normally made with stale bread that is dipped in milk to soften it a bit. French toast is an old recipe for not wasting stale bread. Doing it with brioche is no longer French toast. And the real French name is "the lost bread"

[@michaelphilip3919]

Dunno, but I think the light toasting first is a GREAT tip Thank You Chef

Real genuine French toast made by a French man with French grown and made foods. This is legendary.

🙏🙏🙏👍

We love French toast for breakfast alongwith those lush berries and maple syrup

[@estanford826]

I wanted to tell you, Chef, that I am applying your cooking principles to everything I make now. First the ONYO, don’t use water- water is the enemy, add some wine, use lots of butter, all those wonderful things you’ve taught us. And I’m applying all these principles to old favorite recipes like chili for example and these old recipes are coming to life. It’s like eating in a restaurant every night. And of course were using good food / whole food - none of that boxed crap they sell in the grocery store. Thank you for improving my life. Happy healthy 2022 to all!

A 3rd egg and less milk make a creamier batter for my French Toast. I add butter after cooking and brown sugar to the top. Your berry syrup sounds delicious. I grow my own assortment of berries. Yum ! tms poet Ohio

[@Brainwave36]

I made this as a treat for my woman. Unfortunately, my previous attempts at making french toast always ended in disaster. But, this time it turned out surprisingly well. I think the key was choosing fresh bread from the deli at our local grocery. Fresh cut strawberries and blackberries, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, with authentic maple syrup, and it was a masterpiece. Good to the last bite. Thanks, Chef Jean-Pierre!

[@donalso]

How many times do I have to tell you. You need a love button not a like button. And No!, not that love button.! Hahaha! Your zeal for cooking is inspirational!

[@camdenmcandrews]

This is beauty. Real French Toast! I am reminded of the time, almost 50 years ago, that I stopped at a restaurant in California for breakfast and ordered French Toast. They made it with two different quick breads--banana bread and some kind of sweet pecan bread. Served with strong French Roast 100% Colombian coffee. That was a truly amazing experience!

The Frenchest French toast. The only toast. I love it.

[@alicelau9856]

Also, French toast is a favorite at our house, and it's not just for breakfast. My 13 year old makes EXCELLENT French toast with a warm mixed berry compote and a little bit of marscapone sweetened with a little honey, and a dash of powered sugar. It looks and tastes like a fancy restaurant dish, but truly is so easy a child can do it - because they do! My kiddo makes their French toast exactly as you do and it's every bit as good as you say it is!

[@y2ksw1]

May I ask for the receipt?

[@alicelau9856]

@@y2ksw1 I don't have a recipe exactly. The recipe Chef provided in the description is pretty much what we do for the French Toast part. I always make homemade bread, I have a more dense white bread family recipe I use because it holds up well, but sometimes we use Challah bread which is delicious. We like using bread we make because we can slice it however thick we like it. For the berry compote, we pretty much follow the same process Chef did in his video and recipe, although we generally cook it down a bit more so it's kind of in between a chunky texture and a really thick syrup since we don't put syrup on ours. If fresh berries aren't in season, we use frozen ones and that has the added benefit of having a little extra water which helps it become a more syrupy texture. We don't really measure, we add sugar to taste. For the marscapne, it's the same, we just add honey to taste to get to the sweetness we like and then add some lemon zest, again to taste, to balance out the sweet. Really you could sweeten the marscapne with powdered sugar, or any sweetening agent you prefer, we just like the texture and flavor the honey adds. Sorry I don't have specific measurements, we tend to cook by look, feel, texture, and taste, so it's really what feels good to you and what you like.

Chef, you are the best. Your recipes are fabuloso. And the way you teach is entertaining and funny! That way I can remember key points. I believed I was a good cook. Nope. I just made things, but you have taught me so far MANY things, and I am sure there are a million more things to learn. I now understand how to make my own pasta. I understand how to make alfredo sauce. French Onion soup. I made it my goal to try every recipe you have shared. Please don't go away. Your site is better than any other, If you still had a chef school or cooking school, I would enroll ASAP. Sei il re dei re quando si tratta di cucinare!

"... So simple a child could do it .." This was my first 'no measurement' 'fancy' recipe my mom taught me! We used "Texas Toast" bread, cut into 2 triangles after cooking, stacked prettily on the plate and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The syrup was heated in a water bath on the stove (pre-microwave). My dad and siblings were delighted in our 'creation' - I think I was in second or third grade. Thank you for the sweet memories. You are the best!

Scary! I made my husband French Toast this morning but I doubt it was near as good as this. I never thought of toasting my bread first. We use French Bread as regular bread is always soggy. After watching the video I made my French Toast ( adult version.) It was so delicious I made a second helping. I topped with some leftover compote of dried mixed fruit I had soaked in Captain Morgan then prepared. Thanks for the time you take teaching us cooking skills Chef!

And special dishes and serving dishes? Mama Mia, Chef, I might need an intervention. I know you can’t take it with you, but damnit I’m going to have fun while I’m still here. Cool kitchen gadgets are just about the only reason I still love cooking. Problem is I’m not sure who to leave them to in my will lol.
