French Toast Waffles

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of milk
• 3 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• 5 large eggs
• 4 slices 4 cm thick brioche or challah
• Melted butter, for greasing the waffle iron
• Maple syrup, raspberries and powdered sugar for serving
• Special equipment: waffle iron (preferably for Belgian waffles)

Preparation:

1. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 95°C (to keep the finished waffles warm). In a bowl or baking dish, whisk together the milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, and eggs. Soak the bread slices in the mixture for 2 minutes per side.
2. Lightly grease the heating surface of the waffle iron with melted butter. Add the soaked bread and cover carefully (do not press down on the waffle iron lid). Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the waffles are dry and golden brown.
3. Place the finished waffles in the oven or on a plate, covering them with foil. Prepare the remaining slices in the same way.
