- What to do, everybody?
My name is Ross Pineda, chef and owner of FYEH Kitchen,
and today we're here to test out
four celebrity French toast recipes
to see which one is the best one.
On today's lineup, we have Oprah Winfrey,
Kylie Jenner, Jason Derulo,
and my favorite wrestler in the whole wide world, The Rock.
I measured out the ingredients as each recipe stated,
and I brought a few French toast fans to help me figure out
which one is the best recipe.
So which celebrity has a Frenchiest toast?
Stay tuned and find out.
So first up, we have Oprah Winfrey.
She's gonna start off by slicing her French toast,
toasting her coconut flakes in an oven at 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, we're gonna add eggs, sugar, milk,
sour cream, salt, vanilla, and mix it all up.
Once the coconut flakes are done toasting,
we're gonna dip the bread in the egg mixture
and evenly coat it in the toasted coconut flakes.
In a pan, we're gonna melt some butter
and toast the French toast on both sides
until nicely golden brown.
So you're gonna finish it off with maple syrup,
powdered sugar, and whipped cream.
And there you have it,
Oprah Winfrey's coconut-crusted French toast.
- It looks really cute.
- It's like sad, but tasty looking.
- It definitely looks like
it's a coconut-crusted French toast.
Delicious.
I like this one.
- I do like the texture, how crunchy it is.
It's not bad, but I don't love it.
- The coconut adds a little crunch.
It's a little chewy.
You know, it's really good.
- I feel like this immediately takes me to a beach.
I would definitely recommend this to somebody else.
- [Ross] Coming in hot, we've got Kylie Jenner.
In a mixing bowl,
we're gonna combine eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla,
and we're gonna beat that like Michael Jackson.
In a Ziploc bag, we're gonna crush up some Frosted Flakes
and make some nice little dust.
We're gonna take each piece of bread
and dip it in our egg batter
and coat it in our Frosted Flakes.
In a pan, we're gonna melt some butter,
and we're gonna toast it on both sides
until nicely crispy golden-brown.
In the pan, she adds some brown sugar,
just for some extra added sweetness.
And to finish it off,
she tops it off with some whipped cream.
And there you have it,
Kylie Jenner's Frosted Flakes-coated French toast.
Bam.
- This one does not look like French toast to me at all.
So I'm kind of weirded out.
- It looks like a moldy hash brown or something.
- This seems like something I could easily make at home.
It's pretty simple.
- The crunchy outer side isn't really doing it for me.
- Very crunchy.
There's the cinnamon.
It's very difficult to eat.
- I like this one better
because it doesn't have the coconut.
It's not bad. I really like it.
I would just add syrup.
- [Ross] Coming in third, and we got Jason Derulo.
In a mixing bowl, we're gonna put together
a standard French toast egg mixture,
but he throws in a twist of coconut flake.
In another bowl, we're gonna put together
Captain Crunch Berries, Froot Loops, and Lucky Charms
for a nice, sweet, rainbow surprise.
He crushes it all up, and that is gonna be our coating.
So he takes each piece of bread, dips it in an egg mixture,
and coats it in our rainbow sugary cereal mix.
Once each piece is coated in the cereal mixture,
we're gonna toast it on both sides in the pan
with some butter.
We're gonna top it off with some maple syrup,
as if there's not enough sugar on it.
And voila, there you have it,
Jason Derulo's TikTok God French toast.
- Ooh. This one looks really fun.
- It's like rainbow.
I'm here for this.
- I'm definitely feeling the vibe.
The rainbow crust here is definitely
like a Fruity Pebbles situation.
- I really do like the texture.
It's super crunchy.
It tastes like little rocks, in a good way.
- This is nice.
This is the least sweet of the French toast we've tried.
- It's good.
It kind of tastes like a classic French toast
with a little bit of a crunch.
- I'll probably eat this whole thing
if I was hungry and it's breakfast,
but it's not my favorite French toast I've ever tried.
- It's mostly just for show, the color.
It doesn't really add a ton of flavor,
but I kind of like this.
If you don't like super sugary French toast,
this is a good option for you.
- [Ross] And the recipe everyone's been waiting for,
The Rock.
We're gonna start off
by cutting up four inches of our brioche bread.
In a large mixing bowl, we're gonna put together
a massive amount of our French toast egg batter.
In a little bowl, we're gonna put together
his secret weapon, tequila maple syrup,
using Teremana Tequila.
And with that egg mixture,
we're gonna evenly coat
our four-inch pieces of brioche bread as evenly as possible.
In a large pan,
we're gonna toast our large-ass pieces of French toast.
To serve, he tops it off with some peanut butter, jelly,
and his tequila maple syrup.
Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?
I sure do.
- This one looks super different
than your normal French toast.
It's huge.
- This is fancy.
This looks like a $50 brunch French toast.
- I'm really excited about this.
I love peanut butter and jelly.
- Let's dive in.
(gasps)
- This one's super good.
- Damn.
Who needs an Uncrustable?
This is the (beep).
- Not so much French toast,
but definitely a solid peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
- This is the kind of French toast I think
you would order at a fancy, fine dining brunch place.
Let me take another bite.

- Out of these four celebrity French toast recipes,
My favorite has to be number one.
I loved the coconut crust.
I thought it was perfectly moist.
It still felt like a traditional French toast.
Oprah. Of course, it's Oprah.
- Out of the four French toasts that I've tried,
number four is definitely my favorite.
It looks super fancy,
like the kind of French toast you would pay like $15 for.
Oh.
I didn't even know he had recipes.
- So out of these four celebrity French toast recipes,
I have to say my favorite is number one.
I think it had the best combination of texture and flavor
without being too showy like some of the other ones.
Oprah.
Duh. Love that.
Yes.
- And there you have it.
Oprah has the best French toast recipe.
I think everyone is gonna get a French toast.
You get a French toast and you get a French toast
'cause Oprah Winfrey takes today's
celebrity French toast challenge.
