Waffled French Toast

*Updated August 12, 2004

We had some leftover fresh bread last week and it had been awhile since I had made waffled French toast for the boys.  So I grabbed all the ingredients and set to work. *Now that the boys are all teenagers and young adults we need a full loaf of bread to feed them all so I thought I would update the recipe. 

It's such a simple and quick breakfast and using the waffle maker helps make the French toast nice and crispy.




To make waffled French toast you will need:
French Baguette-- can be fresh or even a day or so old (the French toast "batter" will soften up slightly stale bread).
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
Waffle iron
non- stick spray

In a shallow dish mix up eggs, milk and cinnamon.

Slice bread-- try to keep the slices somewhat even (I don't use the heels but someone usually eats it with butter).


Coat both sides of the bread with the egg mixture.





Spray the waffle maker with non- stick spray and then lay the bread slices on the waffle maker and gently squeeze it shut.

When the waffle maker indicates that it is ready, pull out the French toast. Depending on the size of slices I have fit up to 6 or even 8 slices in one batch. 



We like to top ours with butter, syrup, strawberries or whipped cream. YUM!

    Making it in the waffle iron is a nice twist to a classic recipe. THanks for sharing on #TastyTuesdays

      Thanks for stopping by. I find that the waffle maker gives it an added bit of crunch.

    I've been thinking of getting a waffle maker for a while. You might have just pushed me over the edge. Now I'll be looking for a Black Friday waffle maker sale!

      I do like waffles better but I don't typically like French toast; this makes it nice and crispy so it's my favorite way to prepare French toast.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

10 on the 10th... on the 8th

Image
 Since the 10th falls on a Sunday this month (and I don't blog on the weekends) I thought I'd share my 10 on the 10th a bit early. I love that it also coincides with Friday Favorites since Marsha's 10 on the 10th is often one of my favorite prompts to answer.  Rather than asking us specific questions this month, Marsha has asked us to share 10 things we like to do or eat in November. I thought I'd actually share 10 of each! Now not everything on my list is something we only like to do or eat in November-- we hike pretty much year round and you better believe that many of our favorite foods are enjoyed throughout the fall/winter season too but I'm sure you won't mind me taking a bit of a creative license with the prompt.  10 Things I like to DO in November: Hiking, of course! Though November isn't as pretty for hiking up here it's still not icy and snowy yet so we get out hiking at least once a week. Typically we need coats, gloves, and hats this time of...

Share Our Lives-- Where I Shop

It's the second Monday of the month which means it's time for the Share Our lives link up. This month for the Share Our Lives link up we're sharing where we like to shop. I struggled a bit with this prompt since it's so open ended. I thought I'd list my "top 3" stores in various categories. inside our local Market Basket Groceries: Market Basket Price Chopper Stop and Shop For Gifts: Amazon (free shipping to family that lives far away is fabulous!) Local independent stores/crafters The mall--typically the end stores like Macy's, JC Penney, etc.  For the Home/household goods: Target Amazon JCPenney The mall I went shopping in this July for my birthday For Clothing (for me!): Those same end stores at the mall Stitch Fix Amazon Clothing for my guys: Carhartt (for my husband and oldest son) Old Navy (for Evan) Kohl's/Amazon (for Alec) For fun: Stampin' Up! Michael's craft stores Hobby Lobby  I hope you'll join us next month when we look at ...
