Instructions
Custard and Waffle Prep
- 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
- 2In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- 3Add the cubed Liege waffles to the custard mixture. Gently toss to coat and allow them to soak for at least 15 minutes, or until softened.
Assembly and Baking
- 1Pour the waffle and custard mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
- 2If using, sprinkle the pearl sugar evenly over the top of the bread pudding.
- 3Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread pudding is set and golden brown on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
Cooling and Serving
- 1Let the bread pudding cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- 2Serve warm, on its own or with a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Tips
- Using day-old or slightly stale Liege waffles helps them absorb the custard better without becoming too mushy.
- For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the custard mixture before baking.
- A dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream is a perfect accompaniment to this warm dessert.
