 Hey everyone, today we're making gluten-free French toast. Now in the past I've had trouble making gluten-free French toast because the bread, and I use Trader Joe's and I've used other ones, it tends to be too dense and it will not absorb the egg very well, so your French toast turns out dry and unappetizing and I pretty much was going to give up until I saw how the French make their French toast, or at least the French style. So that's what I'm going to show you today and it works beautifully. You're going to love it. It makes your French toast, no matter what kind of bread you use, nice and fluffy and moist throughout the whole thing and it is delicious and you get that little crispiness on the outside as well. So I'm Rockin' Robin and I'm going to show you how to do it right after this. Now the French use day old French bread, but we're going to use our gluten-free bread, but you could do that and that's why this technique works so well with that stale French bread. So here's the secret. We're going to take some milk. I'm using whole milk here and I'm going to pour about a tablespoon per slice of bread, give or take a bit depending on the size of your bread, right? So we're just going to put that in a little dish here and then I'm going to add some vanilla extract to that to give it some flavor because vanilla extract, what that does is it brings out the sweetness in this recipe. So I'm going to place my eggs into a separate dish as you can see here. Now you notice that I'm not adding the milk to the egg mixture. We're going to be adding the milk and the eggs separately to the bread and that's going to make all the difference. Let's give that a whisk with our fork and really mix it up so it's very well combined. Now with my French toast I like a little bit of maple syrup and I'm using the real stuff here as you'll notice. So I'm just going to pour a little bit into a dish and I'll heat it up and you can put it in the microwave which is what I do, or you can just set this whole dish into a dish of warm water and that would do the trick. So I'm taking my milk here with a little vanilla extract and you want to put a spoon, a tablespoon's worth all over the piece of bread and you want to make sure you get the edges because you want those to be nice and tender as well. So flip the bread over and apply another tablespoon, maybe a little less depending on how wet the bread is already. Once we're done with the milk coating now we're going to move into the egg coating. So now I'm going to take the egg and just do the same thing. I'm just going to spread it over each piece but only on one side and I'll show you in a minute why that is. And now we're ready to toss these in the pan. So I have my frying pan here over medium low heat and I'm placing some butter in the pan to coat the bottom. So let's place our French toast egg side down into the pan. Now remember how we didn't put the egg on the second side well we're going to do that now so we're just going to take another tablespoon or more and just place it right on top spread it around so that it gets everywhere. Now you may have to turn the heat up just a bit sometimes I do that when it's a little bit slow after you put all the toast in the pan it tends to cool it down and sometimes you need to turn it up but just watch it close. So you do want to see those little bubbles going on around the edges there you see that and just you know it'll take about I don't know three or four minutes to get it to brown up. All right it's time for a peek let's have a look oh yeah look at that little golden brown so we're going to flip them over look at that beautiful let's do the next one just give it a toss and if you have a little egg left over in the pan no big deal just you can add that on your plate after it's done look at that beautiful the smell is incredible now I don't know if you can tell here but I can tell that my bread has really plumped up it's really got you know a lot of egg in there and milk and it's just nice and tender and we got that crispy edge going on this is going to be really good it's time for that warm syrup I was going to pour it on and then I decided I'm going to spoon it on because otherwise it drips all over so here we go look at that that it looks amazing this is now my favorite way to cook french toast look at that the texture and flavor is amazing it's tender on the inside and moist and a little bit of crunchy going on on the outside I can't wait for you guys to try this oh that french toast is something else hey if you'd like another recipe for say taco Tuesday you're looking for a nice delicious taco to try out I've got a recipe for you check out my shredded chicken tacos right over here and you're gonna love it so thanks again for watching we'll see you next time
