Instructions

Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and ground cinnamon if using. Mix until fully combined to create a flavorful custard.
Coat the bread: Dip each side of the bread slices into the egg mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated but not soaked through to the point of falling apart.
Preheat and grease the waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Cook the bread in the waffle iron: Place the coated bread slices onto the preheated waffle iron and cook for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Serve: Remove the waffle French toast carefully and serve immediately with desired accompaniments such as syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.

Notes

Use day-old or slightly stale bread for best results, as it holds up better when dipped in the egg mixture.
You can experiment with different types of bread like brioche, sourdough, or whole grain for different textures and flavors.
Adding cinnamon is optional but adds a warm, spiced flavor to the dish.
Ensure the waffle iron is well greased to prevent sticking and aid easy removal.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture before it softens.
