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)

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 Belgian waffles into bite-sized pieces and place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Sprinkle the mixed berries evenly over the waffle pieces, ensuring an even distribution for every bite.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm!
