Method Instructions

Prepare yourself for a delicious cooking adventure as we go into the delicious process of creating our wonderful Waffle French Toast Bake.

3. Using a spatula, equally spread the waffle batter after putting it into the baking dish that has been prepared.
   
   
4. For about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is cooked through and the outside is golden brown, bake the waffle mixture in a preheated oven.
   
   
5. Make the brown butter maple syrup while the waffle bake is in the oven. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, moving at times, until golden brown and smelling nutty. After taking the pot off the burner, allow the browned butter to cool a bit.

Tips

I think making a perfect waffle french toast bake involves a few helpful tips. Let me share some tricks that will make your bake even more delightful!

Use Stale Waffles for Better Texture

I don’t know if you’ve tried this, but using slightly stale waffles makes a huge difference. They soak up the custard mixture better, giving you a deliciously soft center and crisp edges.

Opt for Thick Waffle French Toast

When using eggo french toast waffles, I find that thicker waffles hold up better. They absorb the mixture without becoming mushy, which is perfect for a hearty bake.

Spice Up Your Maple Sauce

I love adding a hint of maple chipotle sauce or maple hot sauce to the maple sauce for a bit of kick. It adds a unique depth of flavor that complements the sweetness beautifully.

Use a French Toast in a Waffle Maker

If you’re feeling adventurous, making french toast in a waffle maker with bread can be a fun alternative. It creates a crispy texture and cooks quickly.

Add a Touch of Maple Mustard

I think a little maple mustard drizzled on top can add a tangy contrast to the sweetness. It’s a great way to balance flavors.

Top with Sriracha Maple Syrup

For a surprising flavor combination, try sriracha maple syrup. The heat from the sriracha combined with the sweet maple syrup is a match made in heaven.

Mix in Some Fruit

I love adding fresh or dried fruit to the mix, like blueberries or raisins. It adds a burst of flavor and a bit of natural sweetness to your waffle french toast bake.

Serve with Maple Vinaigrette Dressing

For a unique twist, serve a side of maple vinaigrette dressing. It adds a tangy-sweet contrast that pairs well with the rich maple sauce.

Try Mini Waffles for a Fun Twist

Using french toast mini waffles can be a fun and cute variation. They’re perfect for individual servings and make breakfast feel like a special occasion.

Ingredient Substitutes

I think experimenting with ingredient substitutes can make your waffle french toast bake even more exciting! Let me share some creative swaps that I’ve tried and loved.
