4.4 from 126 reviews

A delightful twist on traditional French toast, these French Toast Waffles combine the flavors of classic French toast with the crispy texture of waffles. Made by dipping bread slices into a spiced egg mixture and cooked in a waffle iron until golden and crisp, this breakfast favorite is quick, easy, and perfect for a cozy morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
