Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Milk: Whole milk will give you richer custard for the French toast. You can use 1% or 2% milk if you prefer.
- Vanilla extract: You can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract if you would like less vanilla flavor.
- Cinnamon: Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your tastes.
- Bread: The bread needs to be thicker sliced, sturdier bread for this recipe. You can use thicker sliced brioche bread or a similar bread in this recipe.

Recipe Tips!
- Topping ideas: I like to serve the waffles topped with maple syrup and fresh berries. You can serve them with your favorite flavor of syrup, like peach syrup or buttermilk syrup, or whipped cream.
- Freezing: The waffles can also be frozen. To freeze, let the cooked waffle cool on a wire cooling rack. Place in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 1 month.
