Waffle French Toast

Tonight we had waffle French toast for dinner.  It tasted like French toast, but a bit crispier.  It also had perfect square indentions where the butter pooled; it made little pockets of melted butter and powdered sugar deliciousness.  My little ones thought it was pretty cool that French toast could look like a waffle.  I thought it was a fun spin on a classic breakfast (or in this case, dinner)!

Waffle French Toast

6 eggs

2 cups half-and-half

1 tablespoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar

pinch of salt

8 slices brioche

Preheat waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions.  Spray surface with nonstick cooking spray or brush with melted butter.

In a bowl, whisk eggs until frothy.  Add half-and-half, vanilla, cinnamon and brown sugar; whisk until blended.

Dip bread slices into egg mixture; soak, turning once, 30 seconds per side.  Place bread on preheated waffle maker, close lid and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. 

I found this recipe online, but now I can't remember where I found it.
