Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Leftover waffles
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the dish)
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for serving)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Cut the leftover waffles into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the waffle pieces in the baking dish. Gently press down on the waffles with a spoon or spatula to ensure they soak up the custard mixture.
If desired, sprinkle optional chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts over the top for additional texture and flavor.
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the waffles to absorb the custard.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Dust the top with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup before serving warm.
