Waffle iron + French toast = deliciousness

I love waffles (I own four waffle irons and wouldn't hesitate to buy another if I came across an old, working one with cast iron plates). I also love French toast (all week long, I've been planning writing an ode to that breakfast dish), mostly because it makes it possible to create something delicious out of the most humble of ingredients. For these reasons, I am horrifically embarrassed that it never occurred to me to cook my french toast in my waffle iron, like the Kitchen Chick has done.

A craving for buttermilk waffles, coupled with a dearth of buttermilk and some brioche that needed to be used helped inspire this tasty creation. She proceeded to make French toast as normal, soaking the bread in an egg and milk mixture. Then instead of cooking it in a pan or on a griddle, she put the bread on the waffle iron and cooked like any other waffle. Deliciousness abounds!

Marisa,

I've been in your kitchen, where on earth do you keep 4 waffle irons?

Great idea!

I have my grand-mother's waffle iron, which I believe was a wedding present (is that possible? Did they have electric waffle irons in the '30s?). It has cast iron waffle plates, and also flat plates you can use to make sandwiches.

I used it for a "mystery post" here:

Why pay for an expensive panini grill when you can get good results with a waffle iron?
