A delightful twist on classic French toast, cooked in a waffle iron for a crispy, golden finish.
Preheat your waffle iron to medium heat.
Preheating ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Let the bread soak for a few seconds to absorb the mixture.
Grease the waffle iron lightly with butter, then place a coated bread slice onto the iron.
Use a brush or paper towel to evenly spread the butter.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the bread is golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Check occasionally to avoid overcooking.
Repeat with the remaining bread slices, serving them warm with your favorite toppings.
Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven while preparing the rest.
