FAQs
Can I use frozen waffles for this recipe?
It’s best to make fresh French Toast Waffles with bread dipped in the egg mixture. Using frozen waffles would not give the same flavor or texture.
What kind of bread works best for French Toast Waffles?
Thicker breads like brioche, challah, or Texas toast absorb the egg mixture well and create a fluffy inside with a crisp outside.

For Cooking:
