Gordon Ramsay Cooks the Perfect Apple French Toast in Michigan

[Music] right welcome to the up uh we're on the gorgeous lake superior and i've gone hunting for thimbleberry jam with the most amazing monk and come on who doesn't love monk jam now i'm going to turn this jam into a stunning dessert now these simple berries um they go fast let me tell you it's not the moose nipping them it's the bears if not the bears the deer and it's not the deer then it's the monks because they produce the most amazing jam so i've got these beautiful apples that are grown in the same orchard as the thimble berries and i'm gonna turn it into almost like a sort of eggy bread french bread dessert now start off with three eggs into a bowl okay give that a little whisk just nice and lightly a tablespoon of sugar mix that in make sure it doesn't become grainy okay and then literally a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream now nice thick rich heavy cream from there let that sit now i know we're in the woods on the edge of lake superior a little touch of honey in there a little touch of fresh vanilla but that is just enough to coat the bread okay so you can follow a recipe but you should be cooking with your eyes and just making sure it follows through with your whisk too thick it makes it all cloy and heavy nice and thin it gets the bread nice and crispy let that set for a moment apples look at the color of these apples the skin is so delicious that we're not even gonna peel them they're so tasty okay so just a quick chop chop them too small they disintegrate it's a very sweet apple but incredibly juicy so you get them into the pan and sort of caramelize them the apples are delicious oh my god from there into a pan first of all we start off with our sugar sugar in now just wait a minute you'll start to see that caramelizing about a tablespoon of sugar but watch what happens to that sugar beautiful don't throw the apples in there yet now a minute later you start to see that camel okay don't take it too dark apples in okay i'm gonna beautifully give those apples a nice toss and we've got the sweetness coming out the apples now and that caramel's now getting a little bit darker but a lot more fragrant because the skin and the flavor of those apples is delicious now the butter will give the apples that nice nut brown flavor but look what's happening they start blistering we start forming that caramel now it's breaking down but look at the juice coming out the apples so beautiful and then finally this is a beautiful apple cognac so beautiful in oh my lord as that caramel starts to melt a tablespoon of double cream beautiful now the small parts the apple will turn into a bit of a puree that will thicken the cream the can will start thinking the cream naturally bring that back up to the boil and it'll have a slight crunch left in there especially for the bread now bread get your bread in there don't soak that too long in there just literally in and then off to the side if you soak it in there too long it gets too soggy you'll never get it crispy okay so this way we move quick from there a touch olive all in get that pan nice and hot in a little touch of butter beautiful as that starts to color in we go first slice lay away from you deeply done second slice lay away again beautifully done and the third one drain off any excess and then in don't saturate the bread with the egg mixture otherwise it becomes too soggy so literally in and out now as that's cooking get tiny little speckles of butter and put around the outside of the bread this is the kind of bread that i grew up with as a quick dessert in the uk it's called eggy bread and then in france they call it french toast god knows why because it's not toasted however touch of butter that gives a nice flavor to the bread stops it becoming too sweet okay and then we're ready for flipping when you flip these you're going to turn this bread once otherwise you're going to break it and here we go first one beautiful second one in beautiful and then you can see the what that beautiful butter does gives that bread flavor okay apples are reduced beauty down and once the apples absorb all that cream you've got that really nice sort of candied almost like a toffee apple there and now for the most exciting part okay putting this thing together leave them in the pan this is where that plain jane bread goes up a level okay big thank you to the monks that amazing jam you take one out straight on there at the spoon and you spread that thimbleberry jam on beautiful your apples get them on there hot and how cool is this everything's so local next on she goes again back of the spoon thimbleberry jam and then finally got that beautiful slice generals those apples on she goes and then finally a nice little dollop creme fraiche a teaspoon on my jam and then the monks would be upset if i wasted these apples around she goes and that has to be a delicious amazing thimbleberry monk jam french toast sandwich live from the u.p who doesn't love monk jam
