Printable Recipe
Ever since I bought my waffle iron a few months ago I have often wondered what else I could make on a waffle iron. I saw waffle french toast on The Early Show on CBS it was a segment about breakfast classics with a new spin. You can imagine my excitement! I said I much try this! So today was the day to have waffle french toast and I loved it! Tyler and Kameron enjoyed breakfast, Alyssa….well she doesn’t like change, she was a little upset that it wasn’t a true waffle and she was mad because it wasn’t traditional french toast but she ate it anyway with snow…powdered sugar! Shaun was at work so he didn’t get to have any. I didn’t use the recipe that was on The Early Show only used the cooking method. Also on The Early Show was flavored butter even though I did not make it I wanted to share with you because the recipes sound really good. I would have made the butter but I didn’t have any jam or preserves. The recipes for the butter is below the french toast recipe. If you try it let me know I would love to know how it taste. Enjoy your breakfast!

Great idea! I loved flavored butters too! Found your site through Food Gawker.
That looks so cute! I love french toast, and definitely don’t use my waffle maker enough.
hi
you have great blog, and superb recipes, keep up, i have bookmarked some of the recipes i will try and let you know
Now that you have your nifty waffle iron, you may wish to try one of my favorite uses,which I learned from a Pillsbury BakeOff Contest: Use it to cook Pillsbury Grand Biscuits, or your own favorite recipe. You spread them out somewhat with your hands, slap them on, and grill them on the waffle iron until browned and cooked. They are somewhat more dense than traditional biscuits of course, but in a good way. The contestant made biscuits with sweet potatoes so they were quite orange, and then filled them with chunky chicken curry salad. I’ve made that sandwich and it’s quite tasty.
Another recipe to try with your waffle iron is “Waffle Iron Monte Cristos.” If you liked your french toast, simply recreate that french toast in the waffle iron, and then spread it thinly with Dijon, then stuff it with ham, turkey, cranberry jelly or sauce, and make it into a sandwich. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with jam. It sounds odd, but it’s quite good.
Happy New Year!
Kate,
Both recipes sound really good! I will have to give it a try! Thank you so much! Happy New Year!
