Eggland's Best: Custard Waffles

Eggland’s Best Custard Waffles – A Viral Breakfast Recipe

Just when we thought baked oats couldn’t be topped, custard toast took over and with good reason. Eggland's Best take on this viral recipe favors frozen waffles over toast and is still packed with protein thanks to their Eggs, which adds six times more vitamin D to this dish compared to using ordinary eggs. Even better, this recipe can accommodate just about any topping your breakfast-loving heart desires.

FAQs

Can I use regular frozen waffles instead of whole-grain or multigrain?

Yes, you can use any type of frozen waffles you prefer! Whole-grain or multigrain waffles add a bit more texture and fiber, but classic waffles will work just as well in this recipe.

Can I make the custard mixture ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the custard mixture (Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon) ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready, pour it into the waffles and bake.

Can I make this recipe without maple syrup?

If you don’t have maple syrup, you can use honey, agave nectar, or any other sweetener of your choice. You may want to adjust the amount based on your sweetness preference.

Can I skip the chocolate chips?

Yes, if you prefer a less sweet version or want to make it healthier, you can skip the chocolate chips. You can also substitute them with other toppings like dried fruit or seeds.

Can I use a different type of fruit?

Definitely! You can swap the berries for other fruits like bananas, apples, or peaches. Just be sure to chop them into small pieces for even distribution over the waffles.

Can I make these waffles without baking them?

While the baking step is key to achieving the custard texture, if you're short on time, you could also try cooking them on a stovetop in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to cook them thoroughly until the custard sets.
