How to Make French Toast Waffles

This is a featured article. Click here for more information.

Did you know you can use your waffle iron to make french toast? It will taste something like a waffle and french toast fused together.

Makes 6 slices.

[edit] Ingredients

  • 1 cup of milk (any kind)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • a pinch of salt
  • 6 slices of brioche (about 1/4" thick) or plain bread


[edit] Steps

  1. Whisk the first five ingredients together in a large bowl and pour the mixture into a shallow pan, pie plate, or baking dish.
  2. Lay a slice of brioche (or regular bread) into the mixture and soak until the bread is just saturated with the mixture, turning to coat the other side. Repeat for each slice.
  3. Pre-heat waffle iron and grease lightly. Place one slice of soaked bread in the center of the waffle iron, cover and cook as if it were a waffle. The cooking time will be about the same as for a waffle.
  4. Serve immediately with syrup, powdered sugar, and/or fruit topping for a different, delicious, and unusual breakfast.

Here's a nice variation on a theme: Instead of using french toast and turning it into a waffle, use a waffle and "french toast" it.



[edit] Tips

  • Stick to a standard (shallower) iron for these. You can also simply cook the french toast on a griddle on top of the stove if you don't care to use a waffle iron.
  • Coffee or tea would make a good accompanying beverage.
  • Use slightly stale bread (referred to as "day-old bread"), or let it sit out an hour before use. The surface will hold more egg mixture, preventing saturation. It will also not tear as easily when cooking.
  • For a fluffier coating, whisk until you get a frothy mixture. Refrigerating the mixture will decrease its ability to foam.
  • A fork and pie pan make perfectly fine alternatives to a whisk and mixing bowl. Use a fork in a circular motion, from your wrist, to beat the eggs evenly into the mixture.


[edit] Warnings

  • You can't use just any waffle iron for these. A Belgian waffle iron is likely to tear the bread unless you are making a very, very thick slice of french toast.
  • Do not use Soy milk. Regular milk (whole, 2%, etc.) is often used in cooking as a thickening agent. Soy milk lacks these qualities.
  • Remember to be careful when handling items that are cooking or which have recently been cooked as they may be hot and burn you.
