Description
Waffle French Toast combines the best of two breakfast favorites by cooking slices of bread coated in a sweet egg mixture in a waffle iron. This method creates a perfectly crispy exterior with the soft, custardy texture of traditional French toast, providing a delightful twist on a classic morning dish.
Ingredients
Scale
Waffle French Toast
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Salt, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 8 slices of bread (such as cinnamon raisin, challah, pain perdu, or other good-quality bread)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and ground cinnamon (if using) until well combined.
- Coat the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly but without soaking excessively to avoid sogginess.
- Preheat and grease the waffle iron: Heat up your waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the French toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove the cooked waffle French toast and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
Notes
- Use sturdy bread varieties like challah or cinnamon raisin for best results as they hold up well when dipped and cooked.
- Adjust the cinnamon quantity or omit based on your flavor preference.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
- Ensure the waffle iron is properly preheated to achieve a crispy exterior.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or oven.
