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...

20 of My Pet Peeves

 I try to keep it light and cheery and positive on my blog but the other day I hit send on a comment and noticed yet another typo... and I realized that drives me crazy! Then I started thinking of some of other weird and oddly specific things that drive me crazy and thought I'd share them. I hope you realize this is supposed to be more humorous and fun than griping but sometimes tone is hard to get across.    1. Finding a typo/grammar/spelling error after publishing a post or comment-- at least with a post I can go back in and correct but those comments are often just left out there and I always worry that someone will think I don't know I made that error! 2. Someone who clicks a pen over and over while thinking. .. the sad part I hate to admit is that I DO THIS! LOL.. but it only bothers me when it's someone else making the noise. Why is that?   3. Litter! I get why sometimes there is trash on the side of the road; like if you didn't know you had trash in the...

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 ...

Mother's Day Weekend Recap

Image
 With my Share Our Lives post on Monday and Talking About it Tuesday on Tuesday, today is my first chance to share about my weekend. It ended up being a pretty great weekend.  Our Mother's day celebrations started early with us taking both our moms (and my step father) to dinner on Friday night. Friday afternoon Evan took my cell phone and worked on making a few updates, getting some old apps that weren't working going, and organizing the layout of everything for me as his mother's day gift (since he has no job). We made reservations at one of our favorite restaurants Bella's. It's a lovely little Italian restaurant where they make their food fresh and the owner is there to greet everyone and comes to check in with the different tables and make sure everything is delicious. It always is!  For whatever reason these photos uploaded backwards but I had a salad with house made dressing, the stuffed shrimp that came with potatoes and mixed vegetables and then ended the n...

Ageless style in Black and White

Image
It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Marsha picked black and white for our challenge. I often pair black and white together as I like this classic combination a lot.   I hardly ever wear my white blazer but I thought this would be the perfect time. I paired it with a very casual black shirt, my jeans, and some booties.
