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.

I hope these tips help you create an even more scrumptious waffle french toast bake. I’m excited to hear about your delicious results!

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.

I don’t know how you feel about it, but using eggo french toast waffles instead of regular waffles adds a nice twist. They’re easy to find and bring a unique texture to your bake.

In a pinch, maple vinaigrette dressing can be an interesting alternative to maple sauce. It adds a tangy and slightly sweet flavor that’s different but delicious.
