#pecanwaffles

With a praline pecan twist, you can turn a traditional French toast casserole into tasty waffles. You can have these waffles for a special breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients: 1 cup chopped pecans. 1/2 cup unsalted butter. 1 cup packed brown sugar. 2 tablespoons light corn syrup. 1 loaf of French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes. 6 large eggs. 2 cups milk. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 cup powdered sugar for garnish.

Instructions: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar and light corn syrup until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chopped pecans and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the pecans are well coated. Remove the pecan praline mixture from heat and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add the cubed French bread to the egg mixture, making sure all the bread is well coated. Let it soak for about 10 minutes. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon the soaked bread mixture into the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, following your waffle iron's instructions. While the waffles are cooking, reheat the pecan praline mixture over low heat until it becomes pourable. Once the waffles are done, remove them from the waffle iron, drizzle the warm pecan praline sauce over them, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve your Praline Pecan French Toast Casserole Waffles warm and enjoy!
