+41 French toast sucks. amirite?

Bad French toast sucks, just egg and milk? Add some vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon, and give it a nice long soak instead of a dip? Much better experience.

The type of bread also matters quite a lot. I love to use Brioche!

Yes, brioche is great. Try a challah bread too! In the SF Bay Area there a company called Semifreddi's that makes a challah bread called Cinnamon Twist. It's all I will buy to make for french toast and I can inhale a half loaf just by itself too. Hoorah for french toast!

Croissant bread makes good French toast. I suppose that would make it French French toast.

I don't like French toast either. Adding those things makes it sound like you want the French toast to be sweet. I don't like sweet breakfast foods. I don't think French toast is objectively bad, but I have never cared for it

Alas you could say you don't like cereal to reveal that you are not the average human (not meaning in a bad way but the way you said it could be interpreted a lot worst)

Lol well the only cereal I like is raisin bran. I'm just not big on sweet things

by Educational-Meat-222 2 months ago

Yep! You can never have too much cinnamon. It's a key ingredient.

When you say literally,, you realize you're missing a whole integral part of the recipe. It's fried

in a shameful amount of butter.

Your username says it all. There is no such thing as a shameful amount of butter, but if you want replace it with some avocado bs... go for it!

Bite your tongue. Bite your god damn tongue young man. If I wasn't so god damn drunk right now I'd strip you down to your underwear and spank you. French toast is literally one of the best tasting meals I've ever had the pleasure of engulfing upon. Every time I take a bite at IHOPS I literally cream myself in my pants. When you insult french toast you insult ME as far as I'm concerned. I expect an apology and at LEAST a $500 donation to my charity. Thank you kindly sir.

Lmfao, and thanks for having the drunken balls to say what I was afraid to, lol. My man.

I used to feel the same until I made it with cinnamon swirl bread. It was a game changer and I don't make it any other way.

Who makes french toast with just milk and egg? In my family we usually add cinnamon and/or sugar into the milk egg mixture to make it sweeter and taste less egg-y

I don't like French toast but that would make it worse for me. I hate sweet breakfast foods lol

Unhinged madness. Grab yourself a cinnamon enhanced challah bread like a Semifreddi's Cinnamon Twist and make french toast with that. Use practically any ratio for the milk and eggs... I tend to go with less milk to create an almost custard like aspect to the inside of the slices. Also add a half teaspoon of vanilla extract if you have it. Cut thick slices, but because it's challah it'll soak up the liquid fast so be careful of the pieces falling apart. Then griddle 'em up using plenty of butter! You gotta go with a medium hot griddle because you don't want to burn the outside or the butter but you want to cook the thick slices long enough to have the inside cooked. It's hard to over cook them other than the burning the outside aspect. Make a simple warm berry compote real fast, have real maple syrup, quality butter. I am telling you...this french toast blows everyone out of the water. And it's hard to F this recipe up. But forget all that. Even pedestrian french toast is scrumptious. OP is cray cray.

I definitely screenshotted this to try it. I was cracking French toast earlier tonight and this sounds amazing! I also agree that even basic French toast is scrumptious though. You know what you're talking about.

Its one breakfast food restaurants are much better than eating it at home

There are more variants of French toast then there are sliced bread. Does not have to use white bread, and can have many things past milk and egg, and i would guess butter is even more common then milk. The texture can vary so greatly based on how you make it. Unless you dislike bread or eggs in general, I doubt you'd dislike a high tier french toast, and maybe only experienced poorly made versions of French toast.

Toast, french or not, IS garbage. I don't understand how people can spend money in that.

by manuela69 2 months ago

I don't like toast either

by Educational-Meat-222 2 months ago

The French toast you describe sucks. But there are much better recipes, using sourdough or cinnamon raisin bread or something much better than white bread. The batter could also be spiced up with cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.

I don't really like french toast either. I never choose to have waffles either, but imo french toast is worse.

by Educational-Meat-222 2 months ago

That's not French toast really

by robynpagac 2 months ago

If you think those are the only ingredients it is no wonder you think it sucks.

by alyshajast 2 months ago

Everyone disagreeing with you is suggesting adding stuff to make the French toast sweet. That would make it worse for me

by Educational-Meat-222 2 months ago

I was making French toast with my kids the other day and gave a bunch of alternative names to the recipe. 4 pre-chickens, 1 cup of Bovine nectar, 1 tablespoon of V-Bean soul, 1 tablespoon of Sri Lankan tree bark ashes, and 1 tablespoon of Cane dandruff. Really cracked my kids up.

Dude, it's literally the only way I will eat eggs. But I'm weird, so to each their own.

by edwardo08 2 months ago

Sourdough bread, egg, milk. Fry it on a BBQ hot plate and serve with salt and pepper. Ummm mmm mmm. Delicious. I can't eat it with syrup or berries. To me it's a savoury dish.

by Similar_Fish 2 months ago

I agree. I've never enjoyed it, and I've tried it many times since I was a kid until now (I'm 30)

Well using white bread is your first mistake. Eww… get some brioche or some challah bread.

Agreed. Smells like scrambled eggs.

Do not put milk in eggs. Just don't. Hate the French toast. Read all the cookbooks. Listen to all the crazies. Then just don't do it. Don't ruin scrambled eggs or French toast by putting milk in eggs. For the love of all that is good and holy, just don't. Get a whisk. Whip the eggs frothy. Season them how you like. Get some brioche. Make some real French toast before you swear it off forever. I hate raw tomatoes and I try a slice every few months just to be sure. They are still dirt with vitamin-C every time. Maybe French toast will always make you puke. But at least make them so they wouldn't make me puke before you give up on them.
