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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Cut the leftover waffles into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle optional chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts over the top for additional texture and flavor.

Step 6

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the waffles to absorb the custard.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Dust the top with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup before serving warm.
