Easy French Toast Waffles Recipe

Awesome!! Update 03/02/16. I have made this many different ways and just thought I'd let you know. This has become a staple food item in my house. I've tried half 'n half, heavy cream, and whole milk. Full heavy cream and half 'n half win for texture and creamy taste. Milk got a bit more soggy quickly but still delicious. I tried using honey instead of maple syrup and almost cried. It's just not the same without the maple. I've used regular sandwich bread and brioche bread (always gluten free, even for non-celieac family memebers) and brioche wins for taste. Adding a touch of cinnamon won't get you arrested and might even get you an extra kiss in the morning (not guaranteed). These freeze well, making your children super happy at midnight after cram sessions before exams and helping out on those mornings when you may have hit the snooze button one too many times. Thanks for the recipe!

I'm rating this highly because there's no question it's wonderful, but for me on a busy morning, thick slices of French bread dipped in egg substitute with no other ingredients at all (I avoid sugar) is also remarkably good from the waffle maker. Try it that way, if you just want to get out of the kitchen fast but like to make everybody happy. They can add the syrup and butter at the table. Have been doing this for several years!

Wonderful. Won't bother with another French toast recipe again ever. So easy and delicious! I didn't add the cinnamon this time, but definitely will next time. I had a problem with the pieces on the front of my waffle iron -- the lid didn't touch the top of the French toast when I closed the iron, so I just flipped the pieces when I put in the next batch (see pictures). That worked perfectly. I doubled the recipe to use up most of my loaf of French brioche bread, let the extra pieces cool, placed them in ziplock bags, and we'll pop them in the toaster later this week for a quick breakfast. Thank you for a great recipe!

This recipe was yummy! I read previous reviews and added 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1 Tbsp of brown sugar. I doubled the vanilla. I used Brioche bread and used butter on the griddle instead of oil. Perfectly sweet, only needed a little syrup and powdered sugar! The flour kept it fluffy and not soggy! My kids LOVED it!!

Didn’t have a waffle maker so i put the bread on a skillet and turned out amazing

Delicious! Aldi carries two kinds of brioche in their "Specially Selected" brand - vanilla cream and chocolate chip . . . I made this using the vanilla cream brioche. So, so good! I'm looking forward to trying this with the chocolate chip brioche as well - which I'm sure my kids will enjoy. Thanks for sharing this fun, elegant and yummy recipe Vanessa!

I use my waffle iron for bacon, Alton Brown style. I make 2 slices of bacon (cut each in half to make 4 shorter slices) then a waffle which cooks in the bacon grease ...... and I repeat per person so everyone gets hot waffles and bacon. By the time the first person is ready for seconds I will have gotten everyone their first helpings. I also do fresh ground sausage patties. I've done burges too.

Made this with the following edits: added cinnamon, and a little heavy cream to 1%milk. Used Texas toast bread on a Belgium waffle maker and the pieces fit perfectly. Served with fresh sliced strawberries and powered sugar.

Two of my favorite breakfast foods combined into one! What's not to love? Because of what I had on hand, I had to make a couple of changes...I used 1/2 & 1/2 instead of whole milk and Challah instead of brioche. I also added a bit of cinnamon to the batter. I loved the creaminess of the French toast coupled with the crispiness of the waffle.

These were yummy, but I don't suggest adding in the maple syrup to the egg mixture, as it's not distinguishable in the mixture. Save it for topping the waffled French toast.

We loved this! I used thick sliced cinnamon raisin bread from a local bakery and wow what a great flavor! We loved the crispness in the outside and the soft center! This was such a great way to make French toast!

This is the second time I’ve made this! I use half and half and brioche. I made it his morning for Father’s Day with pork sausage patties and fresh cherries- my husband was in heaven!

YES YES YES !!

Delicious. Made it with half hot dog buns, which made it like French toast sticks, really cute. Served with half a banana sliced & spray whipped cream. Def would make again.

Oh my goodness! Soooo good. My new favorite French Toast. Or are they my new favorite waffles? I don’t know. I just know I loved them!

I made it and then made seconds.

These were super fun and a unique way to make waffles! They were delicious and smelled amazing. I also used half and half and they turned out perfect. I am interested to see what whole milk does and then heavy cream. Thanks again - this was a nice treat!

Wonderful. Did not use maple syrup, didn’t have it , however, cinnamon and nutmeg. Used 1/2 and 1/2 and Brioche bread. Made a second batch for the freezer. Helped use up the 1/2 and 1/2 and bread. What a keeper. Thank u.

I used Texas toast. This cane out pretty good. I definitely looks good. I think next time I would use a little more syrup.

My husband really liked this. He loves crunchy waffles and this was a little different. I love French toast and prefer to just make French toast. This was extra work. Dipping each piece and waiting while it soaked (not hard, I dipped and let it sit while a piece cooked) and only cooking one at a time, I’d rather just cook four pieces at a time in a frying pan.
