Eggnog Waffles made with Brioche

Eggnog Waffles Recipe

I had one of those aha moments earlier this week when I discovered this whole idea of waffled brioche. I was actually doing some online shopping for the holidays, and I was looking at waffle irons for a friend. One of the irons had an accompanying video with famed chef Tyler Florence explaining how he used that particular waffle iron. He demonstrated his use of fluffy brioche bread and how he dipped it in a French toast type of batter before placing it inside the waffle iron. I sat there staring at the screen in amazement.

French Crepe Recipe

I remember the first time I went to Paris, I made it a mission to stop and pick up a crepe from one of the street vendors. I didn’t care if I looked like an obvious tourist. I have been eating crepes in America since I can remember, and the chance to eat a real, French one was one of my life ambitions (kind of joking, but not really). That slightly sweet French pancake with cream and strawberries enveloped inside…mmm, I was a happy tourist indeed.
