Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-cut bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- optional Maple syrup (for serving)
- optional Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and granulated sugar until well combined.
Melt the butter in a microwave or small saucepan and set aside.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly. Allow the bread to soak briefly, for about 10-15 seconds per side.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a bit of melted butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Place one slice of the soaked bread onto the preheated waffle iron and close the lid. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Exact times may vary depending on your waffle iron.
Repeat the process with the remaining slices of soaked bread, greasing the waffle iron as necessary between each batch.
Serve the French Toast Waffles warm, topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or any other toppings of your choice.
