→ For Serving
07 -
Unsalted butter, as desired
08 -
Maple syrup, as desired
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut the challah bread into even slices approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
02 -
In a medium bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the milk, eggs, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until well combined.
03 -
Dip each bread slice into the custard mixture, turning to coat both sides. Allow each piece to soak briefly so the mixture absorbs into the bread.
04 -
Preheat a waffle iron. Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot waffle iron, close it, and cook until golden brown. Remove and repeat with the remaining slices.
05 -
Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack if desired to prevent them from getting soggy. Serve warm with unsalted butter and maple syrup.
# Notes:
01 -
French toast waffles freeze well; once cooled, store in an airtight bag. To reheat, use a toaster for crispiness or microwave for a softer result.
02 -
Stale bread works particularly well, preventing the slices from becoming soggy during soaking.
03 -
Other enriched breads, such as cinnamon raisin or French bread, can be used as alternatives to challah.
