Parlez vous Francais?  |

 Do you? Do you speak French?
Or at least French Toast?
I made two loaves of bread yesterday, one wheat, one white. I just cut up some of the white bread and going to make French Toast this morning. I've heard it was good but I've never tried it myself, except for what I've been served at a restaurant.
Before now I've only used regular store-bought bread, and white works best. I don't make French Toast often because it doesn't work as well with wheat bread, and I rarely buy white bread anymore.
Do you like French Toast? How do you make yours? Have you made it with homemade bread?
Why do we call it French Toast anyway?

1. Phaedra_Scythe (1560) | 2 years ago | You know I learned French back in school and got an A* on the final exam. That was nearly ten years ago now and I'm ashamed to say I barely remember a word of it. I suppose that if you don't use it you lose it!
I'm not a fan of French Toast. I have a phobia of egg!

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 2 years ago |  My father's family was all French-Canadienne so I was able to pick up the accent very easily, but never really learned but a word or two from him.
I took French my freshman year of high school and got straight As too. Didn't half know what I was saying, but I could memorize it and of course sounded good with the accent.

2. katfish86 (129) | 2 years ago | Oui, je parle le francais. un peu.:) I got all A's and A*'s in my French exams when I was 16, I'm now 21 and have forgotten most of it but know enough to get by if I went to France.
Anyway, I've not had French toast for a long time, I do enjoy it though! I call it 'Eggy Bread!'

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 2 years ago |  Ah yes, just a little. If I remember any phrase from freshman French class, it's that one! (I always use 'tres' in front of it, though).
I'm 50, so I've got to reach a lot further back than you do!

3. minnie_98214 (4378) | 2 years ago | Well I can speak very little french but cant make french toast lol. I have never actually tried my hubby makes good french toast so I always let him cook it up for us.

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 2 years ago |  Can't make French Toast?
Isn't that un-American!
(LOL, I've still got it, even this early in the day)
It's not hard to do. Just mix egg with a little milk, add a touch of vanilla and cinnamon, dunk the bread in, turn it over, flop it onto the skillet or griddle, give it a minute or so and turn over.
Piece of cake! Errr, toast!

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 2 years ago |  That's exactly how I make mine, except I add just a drop or two of vanilla to the mix.
We just finished eating - and it was great!
Hubby said I passed my French test ...

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 2 years ago |  I've used regular wheat bread in the past and don't like it near as much, so I seldom make it any more.
I had strawberries in the fridge and asked hubby if he wanted me to slice some and he declined, saying he didn't think strawberries would work well with syrup. I disagree, but didn't want to cut any just for myself.

carmelanirel (6327) | 2 years ago | Yum, strawberries, I would go ahead and cut up some form myself, that is really good with syrup..
| |
|
|
Ldyjarhead (5170) | 2 years ago |  I made a couple batches of pancakes the other day and froze some, so maybe I'll put some strawberries on those instead.
I've got whipping cream to make shortcake with. Homemade whipped cream on pancakes sounds good too!

| |
| |
|
|
Ldyjarhead (5170) | 2 years ago |  I add a bit of milk, just a drop or two of vanilla and some cinnamon to mine.
Viola? Are you cooking French flowers?

7. ruthinian (652) | 2 years ago | I like french toasts. But I have not made them lately. I love the ones at Denny's and I guess they are better than the ones I make. But if I have to make them myself, I would use wheat bread since that's the kind of bread that I usually buy. I don't make my own bread, so naturally I would always use the ones I bought from the store. And one important thing about my french toast, is the special Maine maple syrup... yummy.

|
Ldyjarhead (5170) | 2 years ago |  I usually eat wheat or some other form of grain bread too, and I don't think the French toast turns out as well, so that's why I don't make it very often.
When I made this bread yesterday I thought that would be a good thing to try, and it was great!
I miss the pure maple syrup of home too. I was born n raised in NH, so we could get some of the more local good stuff too.

9. winterose (17615) | 2 years ago | Do I speak french yes I do, my family is french. Do I make french toast, not very often, it is too rich, and I tend to only use sugar as the topping, all this extra stuff, jam and syrup is just to rich for my liking. I only used your everyday bread, wonder bread or pom or what have you
| |
| |
|
|
Ldyjarhead (5170) | 2 years ago |  That's one of the reasons I don't make it often. I never cook for just myself anyway, so if I had company I might do pancakes or French toast.
Now that I have hubby here with me, we're both expanding in girth!

10. toosh21 (486) | 2 years ago | I speak a little French (an only a little, lol) - I studied it for 4 years in high school but have forgotten most, I am learning again from a friend from France & my new sister in law is also French. I love french toast - we make it from egg, milk and nutmeg or salt and pepper. Not sure why it's called French toast though, sorry.

|
Ldyjarhead (5170) | 2 years ago |  I think most of us agree on how to make it. It it sooooo good!
