Kitchen Hacks
French brioche bread and coconut milk make THE best coconut waffle toast or are they French toast? Whateve you call them, they’re buttery light yuminess!
Food and kitchen hacks are always interesting. If you’re not familiar with food hacks, they’re basically using products or objects for cooking and food in different ways then they were intended. Food hacks have taken off.
They’re ‘hot’ items and a novelty. Honestly, for me, food hacks are what I learned growing up as being resourceful and creative. Finding ways to multi-use things getting more mileage out of them.
What is Brioche Bread Used For?
Brioche bread, to me, borders on being a decadence. I never had it growing up. Didn’t even know it existed. Brioche bread is a French. And, it’s a hybrid bread. A cross between a pastry and a bread. That’s because there’s a lot of butter and eggs in brioche. You might ask, what is brioche bread used for? Well, right here. French toast! And, I must say they are fabulous!
Brioche Bread French Toast
Brioche bread French toast is just huge steps above regular bread French toast. Now I do like a great sourdough French toast. But, sometimes the crust on sourdough bread is too crusty. And, even dipping the bread in the egg batter doesn’t soften it enough. So if you’ve never tried buying Brioche bread for your French toast, well, you’re missing something that’s quite yummy. Today Brioche bread is fairly available. I can even find it at Aldis.
Brioche Waffle
If you can use Brioche bread for French toast, then why not a brioche waffle? Simply put the egg coated slice of bread in a hot waffle iron, and you get a great waffle. Brioche bread has this flaky crust. It’s fluffy inside. And, sometimes you’ll think you’re eating a waffle croissant!
Coconut Milk Pancakes
So, with this recipe for French brioche coconut milk waffle toast, I wanted to use the waffle iron as a grill. I mean if you live in a small studio apartment in Manhattan and all you have is a waffle iron, you have to multi-use it. It can be a waffle iron, a grill, a pizza oven or a hot plate for frying an egg. Yeah, I’ve done an egg on a waffle iron, and it’s bizarre. It works!

Dairy Free Waffle Recipe
Since I’m using coconut milk in this recipe, and it’s not dairy milk, it’s a great alternative for people who want lactose-free and no cow’s milk. While coconut milk has more saturated fat than whole milk, it’s cholesterol free and does have a lot of nutrients.
What I love about these waffles is that I’ve used coconut milk in the egg batter. It gives it a richness and creamy taste that you don’t get with regular milk. Then if you can find brioche bread, you’re in business. If you can’t, get a thick cut bread. Of course, brioche is made in a different way. I’ve never made it from scratch, but that’s on my bucket list!

Ally, there’s nothing more I’d love to dig into for breakfast than a slice of your Brioche French Toast (except maybe bacon, lol), but my dang food allergies keep me searching for the next great “hack.” LOVED your multi-use waffle iron suggestions — coconut milk, too — and yes, we’ve been “hacking” for years out of necessity or desperation. Creative. Clever. BOHO! Terrific photos and writing. xo
Oh, Kim! I adore and LOVE you!!! Yes, we’re out of necessity ‘hackers’ who invent new uses for things. Reckon we’re kinda trendy now, huh!! Thanks for all the sweet kind words…as you know, coming from you (especially the writing!!!) makes me happy! xoxo
