Description
Making French toast waffles always reminds me of those quiet mornings when the kitchen feels like the warmest place in the house.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 slices thick bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)
- 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing waffle iron)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your waffle iron so it’s nice and hot—this is what gives you those perfectly crisp edges.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. The mixture should smell sweet and spiced, like the promise of a comforting breakfast.
- Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, letting it soak just enough to absorb the custard without becoming too soggy. This step is where the magic begins—the bread transforms into something rich and flavorful.
- Lightly grease your waffle iron with butter, then place the soaked bread inside. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crisp. Depending on your waffle iron, this usually takes about 3–5 minutes.
- When you lift the lid, you’ll see beautifully crisp French toast waffles with deep pockets ready to hold syrup, melted butter, or fresh fruit. Serve them warm, straight from the iron, for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of orange zest to the egg mixture.
- If you have leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the toaster for a quick breakfast.
