  • description: 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. INGREDIENTS Slices of Stale Bread or Brioche 500 g Whole Milk 250 g Double Cream 1 Vanilla Pod 2 Egg Yolks 55 g Sugar Unsalted Butter Golden Caster Sugar RECIPE 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 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 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 7. Sprinkle golden caster sugar over the top. Add the bread to the pan and caramelise. 8. Serve with (optional) figs and mascarpone mix VIDEO CHAPTERS 00:00 - 3 Michelin Star Chef Technique 00:07 - Preparing the Mix 02:00 - Cooking the Mix 03:23 - Preparing the Bread 04:52 - Soaking the Bread and Heating the Pan 05:45 - Cooking the Toast 07:47 - Caramelising the Toast 09:08 - Tasting!
