The perfect brunch DOES exist, and my French toast waffle is it. Easy and quick to make with limited ingredients, you’ll definitely want to try this the next time your craving something sweet!
I use strawberries and blueberries for this recipe but you can use peaches, apples, mangos, raspberries or even blackberries. Any fruit that can cook down into a compote will be sufficient as a topping for this French toast waffle.
I love Challah bread for this recipe. Challah isa braided loaf of bread that has a soft inside texture. You can find it in smaller grocery stores or gourmet grocery stores.
Another great bread choice to use is brioche. Brioche is an excellent choice and easy find anywhere.
Pro Tip- Buy your brioche and slice it yourself, if possible. The pre-sliced brioche loaves are a little thinner than I would recommend for this recipe. You’ll need to cut your bread into 1″ slices!
