Recipe of the Day: Easy French Toast Waffles

EASY FRENCH TOAST WAFFLES

Cooking spray

1/2 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

4 pieces 1/2-inch thick slices of sturdy bread, such as brioche or French

Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions and spray with cooking spray.

Whisk milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt together in a wide bowl until thoroughly combined.

Dip bread slices 1 at a time in the egg mixture, coating both sides completely.

Lift bread with a slotted spatula to allow excess egg mixture to drain back into the bowl.

Place dipped bread slices on waxed paper and let rest until mixture soaks in, about 2 minutes.

Place dipped bread in the preheated waffle iron. Gently close the lid without forcing it down. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining slices.

Makes 2 servings.
