I adore this woman. As an early 30s, single male, she's inspired me to cook at home more and try new things. Super unlikely, but I hope I have the pleasure of meeting you one day Ms. Saffitz. Keep spreading love, positivity, and delicious recipes.

Please don't ever stop making these videos! ❤ I watch them to unwind from work and the chemistry you and your crew and your husband Harris have just makes me happy. You have also got me back into the culinary arts again. The hardest thing was getting back into food after falling out of love with creating. But I have both of your cook books and the recipes are amazing ❤

Oh yeah Claire knows it’s got to be crunchy without being so hard it cuts your mouth. I can always count on Claire to nail every recipe.

I made these this morning and I can confirm they are DELICIOUS. I think I’ll make French toast this way forever on. The crispy, sweet, brûlée sugar on top of the not-so-sweet French toast is incredible. My sugar topping held up and was still crispy after spiced whipped cream and blackberry maple syrup sat atop it for a bit. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you, Claire, for knocking it out of the park once again!

This is not fair, Claire. When someone (me) wakes up hungry, ponders what to eat for breakfast and watches one of your breakfast videos.
I absolutely love French toast and this looks like heaven to me.

So happy you brought back the animated intro, it’s such a fun way to start the show. Also shoutout to the editor for adding “googly eyes” to the hand blender at 6:50

Claire was the only reason I watched Bon Appetite! Love her and all that she makes!

In Serbia (Europe), we make something like this for breakfast. We call it "prženice, " which comes from the word "pržiti, " meaning "to fry." It’s made with stale bread, eggs, milk, and a bit of salt. We usually eat it as a savory dish with white cheese or clotted cream, but some people enjoy it with fruit jam. :)

The eyes on the immersion blender. Literal chef’s kiss.

Claire uploading a french toast video while I myself am making french toast is the highlight of my day. Sadly, mine won't be nearly as good as Claire's!

[niamhwood]

I just sat down for a break from work with a cuppa and biscuit, this is EXACTLY what I needed <3

[anitabest]

This french toast recipe is AMAZING! Truly the best french toast I have ever made. Would have never thought to add sugar to get a nice caramelized side.

Currently going through a tough financial/economic time, and it's been hell. Watching your cooking videos and trying some of your recipes has really been therapeutic. I've been watching your videos since Gourmet Makes, and I am so grateful for how far you've come with your digital series. It has inspired me to lean more on my culinary curiosity. Thank you for unlocking this new passion for me.

I feel SO validated to know Claire cooks her French toast the way I do! Totally gonna take all her tips next time ❤

[tanzilakhan]

I've been sprinkling sugar on my french toast for that cracking brulee crunchiness for years and this video makes me so happy :3

I remember my dad making French toast for my older brother (7 years older) when I was really little, like 4 or 5. I thought it was gross and wouldn't eat it 'cause I saw him put milk and eggs on bread. I would eat boiled or scrambled eggs, but I didn't have French toast until I was an adult. I ordered some from the restaurant my mom works for, and I finally understood what the fuss was all about. I love the channel, Claire, and i really love seeing the kitty cats!

[xPMacx]

Haha. Loved the cute eyes on the blender when she was done making the custard.

[demetreasandrews]

I made these this morning and it was legitimately the best french toast I've ever had. Nice crunchy outside, with soft and smooth custardy inside. The only thing I changed was I used my lebkuchen soice blend. I will definitely use this as my go-to from now on

[hopecasais]

This is how i make french toast for my family, except i caramelize some banana slices w/ brown sugar and butter. So simple but looks and tastes super impressive.
