Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 loaf challah bread
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup 2% milk (240 milliliters)
Sweeteners and Spices:
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (45 grams)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings:
- butter
- maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare thick, hearty slices of challah bread, cutting each piece approximately one inch in width to ensure substantial texture.
- Create a luxurious custard mixture by whisking milk, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar in a wide, shallow container until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Carefully immerse each challah slice into the egg mixture, gently turning to ensure complete and even saturation, allowing the bread to absorb the flavorful liquid for enhanced taste and texture.
- Preheat the waffle iron to optimal temperature, ensuring a crisp exterior and tender interior for each slice.
- Carefully transfer the saturated challah slices onto the hot waffle iron, pressing gently to create distinctive waffle grid patterns.
- Cook each slice until achieving a rich, golden-brown coloration, monitoring closely to prevent burning and ensure perfect caramelization.
- Remove the cooked French toast waffles and place on a wire cooling rack to maintain crispness and prevent moisture accumulation.
- Finish the dish by generously drizzling melted butter across the surface and cascading pure maple syrup over the waffles for a decadent presentation.
Notes
- Thick challah bread ensures a rich, custardy texture and prevents the waffles from becoming too crisp or dry.
- Soaking the bread in the egg mixture allows maximum flavor absorption and creates a creamy interior when cooked.
- Use a preheated waffle iron to achieve even, golden-brown coloration and crispy exterior.
- Let waffles rest on a wire rack to maintain crispness and prevent bottom-side sogginess.
- Optional toppings like melted butter and maple syrup enhance the sweet, indulgent breakfast experience.
- Adjust cooking time based on your waffle iron’s settings to prevent burning or undercooking.
