Description
A delightful combination of crispy waffle texture and custardy French toast flavor, perfect for a weekend brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 thick slices (3/4-inch) day-old brioche or challah
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup heavy cream (optional)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Melted butter or neutral oil (for greasing the waffle iron)
Instructions
- Whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream (if using), sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
- Dip each slice of bread into the custard for 10–15 seconds per side for lightly soaked, or 30 seconds for a custardier interior, shaking off the excess.
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high and brush with melted butter or coat with oil.
- Cook each slice in the waffle iron for 3–5 minutes until deep golden and crisp.
- Keep cooked waffles warm on a wire rack in a 200°F oven while finishing the batch.
Notes
Use day-old, firm bread for best results. If making multiple waffles, finish them in the oven to maintain crispness.
