  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, light (not packed if you're watching calories)

How To Make bread pudding using left over waffles

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Step 2
    Lightly grease a 9x9 cake pan, or a 9" round pan, or a loaf pan. Cube or tear up waffles, toss them into the pan and try to somewhat level them out.
  • Step 3
    In a bowl, whisk the lukewarm milk, butter, eggs, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla together until eggs are fully incorporated. Pour over the waffles - give the whole thing a good stir. COMMENT: The mixture should be almost submerged in liquid.
  • Step 4
    Bake at 350* for about 45 minutes to an hour, until the center is set and the top is starting to brown. Serve either hot or cold
  • Step 5
    Cognac or Rum topping: (Omit alcohol if serving to children) Use 1/2 cup of syrup (more or less, it's up to you) & 1/4 cup of cognac or rum (more or less, it's up to you). Mix together.
  • Step 6
    Using a knife, deeply pierce the hot bread pudding (right out of the oven) all over.
  • Step 7
    Pour topping over the complete pudding while it's still hot (very important).
  • Step 8
    Eat hot with vanilla ice cream, cream or whipped cream. Eat cold with whipped cream. Bon Appetit!
