1 cup (whole or your choice)
vanilla extract

granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (optional, for sweetness)
salt
1/2 teaspoon (fine)

Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your waffle iron to the desired setting and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2
In a large, shallow dish or pie plate, combine the beaten eggs, milk, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well blended and fluffy.
3
Take each slice of bread and fully immerse it in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side to ensure a thorough coating.
4
Carefully place one slice of the soaked bread into the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until the French toast is golden brown and crispy, usually about 3-5 minutes.
5
Repeat the process for the remaining slices of bread, adding more cooking spray as needed to the waffle iron.
6
Serve your waffle-style French toast warm, garnished with warm syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a generous serving of fresh fruit.
