French toast is a great way to use up challah leftover from Shabbos, so we often have it on Sunday mornings. We discovered this recipe last week from my new cookbook, The Joy of Cooking, a Chanuka gift from my mother. My kids loved it, and this is now their preferred way to make it. You’ll need a waffle iron for it, and if you don’t have one, I don’t suggest running out to get one. I have one thanks to a friend, who mentioned when I was visiting that she had an extra one for dairy, and offered it to me.
Waffle French Toast
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 c. milk
- 2 T. melted butter
- 1/8 t. salt
Mix this all up. Then take six pieces of bread (if it’s a little stale it’s better than very fresh), and dip each one in the egg mixture. Put it in the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the bread is golden brown. This makes six pieces of French toast.
As you can see, this is basically just regular French toast but made in a waffle iron, but the kids think it’s so much tastier and fun to eat! It has no sugar, which is a plus, and they didn’t feel like they wanted to add any syrup or sweetener to eat it with.
