- It's unique. Save money on food by using what you already have on hand- uh, yes, please! Not only that, but it's so much fun and different. You may find yourself going out of your way to recreate it often.

🔪 How to Make French Toast with Frozen Waffles
Step 1: Heat Eggos on a plate in the microwave for about 30 sec-1 min until soft and no longer frozen.
Step 2: Add egg, milk, cinnamon and vanilla to a pie plate or large bowl.
Step 3: Whisk together until well blended.
Step 4: Heat a greased skillet over medium heat until the water sizzles. This shows that the pan is hot and ready. Grease it once it's warmed up.
Step 5: Dip a waffle in the egg mixture.
Step 6: Flip to coat both sides completely.
Step 7: Lay the waffle in the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 8: Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes or until golden.
Step 9: The edges will look crisp and cooked, but the pockets may appear wetter. Any egg whites should appear white and not translucent.
Step 10: Repeat until all waffles have been cooked. Serve with butter and syrup.
For a fun, flavorful twist, try different flavors of waffles like blueberry, chocolate chip, or cinnamon. Yum!
🍴 Recipe Tips
- Thaw Waffles. For this recipe, use thawed waffles, whether Eggo or another brand. If you lack a microwave, warm and heat the waffles in a toaster until no longer frozen. The objective is to remove the chill before making french toast.
- Waffle Brands. Feel free to substitute other waffle brands for Eggo; the recipe works equally well with any brand.
💭 Recipe FAQs
Eggo brand makes gluten free waffles so yes, you can buy GF waffles and make your own GF Eggo french toast. If you can't find Eggo brand, I recommend trying Van's brand. It's delicious!
Milk is a common ingredient in many waffle French toast recipes, as it adds creaminess to the batter and helps create a desirable texture. However, it is possible to make waffle French toast without milk.
If you prefer or need a milk substitute, you can use almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or any other non-dairy milk that suits your dietary preferences. Additionally, you can use water as a milk alternative, but the resulting batter will be less rich and flavorful.
Popular toppings for French toast include maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar, whipped cream, nut butter, and sliced bananas. You can get creative with your favorite toppings.

These are yummy and easy! I only got 5 waffles out of mix but that’s no problem. I have 3 of the 5 for leftovers. I love reheating in the skillet.
