Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-cut bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for greasing the waffle iron)
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to its manufacturer's instructions.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Allow any excess liquid to drip back into the bowl.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
Place one slice of the soaked bread into the waffle iron and close the lid gently. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat for the remaining slices of bread.
Carefully remove the waffle-style French toast from the waffle iron and transfer it to a serving plate.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a sprinkle of fresh berries, if desired.
