Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 Eggo waffles
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- Butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: a mixing bowl, whisk, skillet or griddle, spatula, and measuring tools.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until well blended.
- Add milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the eggs. Whisk all ingredients together until completely combined and smooth.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the cooking surface.
- Take each Eggo waffle and carefully dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Allow excess mixture to drip off.
- Place the egg-coated waffle onto the heated, buttered skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat the dipping and cooking process with remaining waffles, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- Once all waffles are cooked, transfer to serving plates. Drizzle with warm maple syrup and optionally dust with additional cinnamon.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Eggo Waffle French Toast!
Tips
- For extra crispy edges, let the waffles sit in the egg mixture for just 10-15 seconds on each side - not too long, or they'll become soggy.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for a more even coating and better absorption of the mixture.
- Keep your skillet at a consistent medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring a golden-brown exterior.
- If you want an extra flavor boost, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of almond extract to your egg mixture.
- For a more decadent version, dust your finished French toast with powdered sugar or top with fresh berries alongside the maple syrup.
- If cooking for a crowd, you can keep the cooked waffles warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) while preparing the remaining batches.
- Choose butter with a high smoke point or use a mixture of butter and neutral oil to prevent burning during cooking.
