Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Waffles
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices of thick bread (preferably day-old or slightly stale)
- Butter, for greasing the waffle iron
Peach Sauce
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peaches, diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
To Serve
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and grease waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Make the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Dip bread and cook waffles: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Place the dipped bread into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the waffle iron’s instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare peach sauce: While the waffles cook, in a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Thicken sauce if desired: For a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water and stir it into the peach mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your liking.
- Serve: Serve the French toast waffles warm, topped with the homemade peach sauce, drizzle with maple syrup, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Use day-old or slightly stale bread to ensure the waffles hold up well and crisp nicely.
- The cornstarch in the peach sauce is optional; omit if you prefer a thinner sauce.
- Maple syrup and powdered sugar are optional toppings but add extra sweetness and visual appeal.
- Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are not available; thaw before cooking.
- Adjust the sugar in the peach sauce to taste depending on the sweetness of your peaches.
