- Method: Waffle Iron
- Cuisine: American
For the Batter:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking:
- 8 slices of bread (preferably thick-cut, such as brioche or challah)
- Butter, for greasing the waffle iron
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Preheat and Grease the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly brush or spray with butter to prevent sticking.
- Dip the Bread: One slice at a time, dip the bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated to avoid sogginess.
- Cook in the Waffle Iron: Place the dipped bread slice onto the preheated waffle iron and close the lid. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve Warm: Carefully remove the French toast waffle from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to your taste preference.
- For a richer flavor, substitute whole milk with half-and-half or add a tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
- Be careful not to soak the bread too long to avoid soggy waffles.
- If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can cook the dipped bread slices on a griddle or skillet, flipping until both sides are golden.
