Brioche Waffles: Soft, Fluffy, and Golden Perfection

Tear the brioche bread into small pieces, or cut it into cubes. If the brioche is fresh, it’s easier to use it within a day or two of baking. You can also slightly toast the pieces for extra flavor.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Add the melted butter and honey (if using), and mix until smooth.
4. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be smooth but may have some lumps.
5. Add the Brioche Pieces:

Gently fold in the crumbled brioche bread pieces into the batter. Allow the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes, letting the brioche soak up some of the liquid.
6. Preheat the Waffle Iron:

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.
7. Cook the Waffles:

Spoon a generous amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Cooking times may vary depending on the waffle iron.
8. Serve:

Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
