Michelin French Toast at Home
Video Overview & Insights
This is the best French toast recipe you can make at home. Soft, custardy on the inside, crisp and caramelised on the outside.
🍞
If you’re looking for a classic French toast recipe, an easy French toast recipe, or a restaurant-quality French toast recipe, this method shows you exactly how to make perfect French toast step by step. This recipe uses a Michelin-star chef technique from Hélène Darroze to elevate a simple French toast into something rich, balanced, and never soggy.
Unlike basic French toast made with eggs and milk, this recipe uses a light custard (crème anglaise) soak, gentle pan-frying in butter, and a final caramelised sugar finish. The result is French toast that’s creamy inside, golden and crispy outside, and full of flavour.
Surely they should be showing us how to make the bread if it's a vid on Michelin star french toast
INGREDIENTS
Slices of Stale Bread or Brioche
what is the white thing at the end
500 g Whole Milk
250 g Double Cream
I never realized english and american called our way to eat passed bread hard as rock "french toast", they are so dumb. Honestly, if you wanna cook some french dish, feel free to do so. If you wanna teach them on youtube you better learn history first before trying to teach (wrongly on so many level) a multiple century old recipee. You wanna cook fancy bullshit ? Don't detroy such a common dish that all french know how to do and why you are wrong, just stick to the fancy french dish we never eat like boeuf bourguignon
1 Vanilla Pod
2 Egg Yolks
Is it French toast or deconstructed bread and butter pudding?
55 g Sugar
Unsalted Butter
"A little bit of butter"!!
Golden Caster Sugar
RECIPE
Mas capön? 😷er🐎
1. In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream and vanilla pod cut in half lengthways. Bring to a boil
2. Let mixture infuse for 10-15 minutes
This is an absolute fail. (yuck!)
3. In a bowl beat the egg yolks then add the milk, cream and sugar mixture. Allow to cool
4. Once cooled, pour the mixture onto a tray or a dish to dip the bread slices
Michelin stars are just pure refined horse shit.
5. Soak the bread on both sides
6. Melt unsalted butter onto a pan over a low heat. Brown both sides of the bread until the milk-egg mixture has set
5:30 I don't understand this part, oil doesn't prevent butter from burning since the proteins and solid compounds of the butter will reach their burning point over time, no matter the presence of oil. Does it serve another purpose?
7. Sprinkle golden caster sugar over the top. Add the bread to the pan and caramelise.
8. Serve with (optional) figs and mascarpone mix
You seem like in a lot of pressure just to cook a french toast. It is just a french toast, what are you so worried about?

My French toast consists of egg and bread.
@kjs-72My family has a french toast recipe That I really like. I remember going out to a restaurant and thinking I love french toast, I will order that. It came out as essentially Egg Bread with Cinnamon. My disappointment was immeasurable. I now know that If I went to a 3 Michelin star Restaurant and ordered french toast, I would be only slightly less dissapointed than the other restaurants but for completely different reasons and would never order it again :| But I can see why people would think yours is the best French toast ever and that I would just be an outlier, and that is just the difference in peoples taste. I will say I learned some interesting things from this though. Thank you for sharing :D
@MagisMagiTonyfunny how there is never a time when a chef says ''just a bit of butter'' without putting at least 2x the amount any regular human would put haha That's half a stick mate (all in love , I'm trying this during the weekend)
@Hughmongus88Michelin star death 🌟
@calmnismNow what you do is add butter then don't forget to add butter to the butter while buttering the butter with more butter while it's soaking in butter.
@Squashylemon4:16 "you'll probably be cooking for another person"

Too much sugar, too much butter

@autumnleaves.1I tried it. Absolutely disgusting.
@flanthemanableFAT IS FLAVOUR 😁
@Kneesan_91Dip some bread in egg and milk and fry slowly so the mixture cooks through. This is too much mucking around
@ebull666Looks delicious, but I gotta be honest, I'll never make it that good 🤣 so I'll have to settle with paying for it.
@ximenadelatijeraDidn't realise to become a Michelin star chef you had to be a brick layer as well.
@steventurner2200That looks like the Greatest piece of French toast of all time. ❤

@BobertBr0wn149at 6:43. is this bread slightly burnt?
@WaldemarKostka-g8zThat's the nastiest French Toast I've ever seen. I guess that's what you get from a restaurant awarded by a tire company

@GerryS1234Chef... if you have enough time to make "custard" in the morning then you have enough time to make clarified butter too xD
@1995Milky1995Bro said decadent like 20 times
@Tyler-ko8dpMicheline style micro plastic... Cooking with silicone-plastic shit tool... That is one extra star right there... When you see someone using plastic cutting board, plastic-silicone tools or any kind of plastic stuff, aluminum pans, lead plates... run away. By the way so much sugar in this toast... joke.
@MrDenaschimentoSanchezmate just chuck a bit of sugar in your eggy bread if you want it sweet stop fuckin about
