Tastefully Tuesday - Waffle Iron French Toast

Another ingenuous idea born out of my dual quests to first, spend as little time in the kitchen as possible and second, avoid using the fire extinguisher ever again. And another thing, I hate washing dishes. We lack non-human dishwasher around here. Therefore, a lot of stuff gets cooked in ways that uses as least amount of pans as possible; on the grill, in the microwave, in foil pans in the oven, you name it, including in the waffle maker.

Here's my recipe for waffle iron french toast. And be sure to check out Dawn's version, which will most likely be soy and gluten free, in the comments section below.

SUPER YUMMY INGREDIENTS

• 1 egg for every 4 slices of bread
• 2 tbsp vanilla-flavored creamer
• 2 tbsp your favorite orange juice
• dash each of nutmeg, and cinnamon (which we now leave out due to allergies)
• bread of choice

DELIGHTFULLY EASY DIRECTIONS

1. Whisk all ingredients except bread in a glass dish.
2. Dip the bread as you would when normally cooking French toast.
3. Place slice in waffle iron and cook for just under the duration that you would cook a traditional waffle.
4. Serve with choice of toppings like butter and syrup, or berries and whipped cream.

4 TERRIBLY HELPFUL TIPS

• You can use sugar-free creamer, or even another flavor.
• Orange drink doesn't work so well as real orange juice, but SunnyD works in a pinch.
• We used refrigerator biscuits (uncooked, letting them "bake" in the waffle iron) but Texas-cut or any other thick-sliced bread would be super delicious.
• It's easier to dip the bread if you're using a square-shaped glass dish instead of a round one, for square-shaped bread.
• Do not cook eggs in your waffle iron as it comes out a hot mess and isn't really as clever for real as it was in your mind.

Enjoy your Tuesday, and whatever you're eating I hope it's something especially tasty.
