Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Belgian waffles
- 1.5 cups Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Cut the Belgian waffles into bite-sized pieces and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the mixed berries evenly over the waffle pieces, ensuring an even distribution for every bite.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the waffle and berries in the baking dish, pressing down gently with the back of a spoon to ensure the waffles soak up the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the custard to fully absorb into the waffles.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm!
