Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Day-old waffles
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 1 cups Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices; optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish wide enough to fit one waffle at a time.
Dip a waffle into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated evenly. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet or griddle. Place the coated waffle into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with the remaining waffles, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Remove the waffles from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and top with your favorite fresh fruit if desired.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and enjoy!
