Instructions:

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

What To Serve With It

I love topping my waffles with fresh fruit like berries or bananas—it adds a sweet, juicy crunch that’s hard to resist. If I’m craving something savory, I’ll pair them with crispy bacon or scrambled eggs for a perfect balance. Either way, these combos turn a simple waffle into a meal I can’t wait to eat.

Fresh Fruit Toppings

When it comes to topping your waffles, fresh fruit is a game-changer that’s both delicious and colorful. I love mixing berries, like strawberries and blueberries, for a sweet-tart combo, or slicing bananas and peaches for a creamy, juicy bite. Don’t forget a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of mint to brighten things up! Fresh fruit topping combinations turn simple waffles into something special.

Savory Side Dishes

Though waffles often steal the spotlight at breakfast, pairing them with savory sides can turn them into a hearty meal any time of day. I love experimenting with savory pairings like crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, or roasted veggies for flavor combinations that feel fresh and satisfying. A dollop of herbed cream cheese or a drizzle of hot sauce can also elevate the dish, making it a go-to for any meal.
