What To Serve With It
I love loading up my waffles with toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup, but sometimes I want something more. A crispy side of bacon or scrambled eggs makes the meal feel complete, balancing sweet and savory. Let’s talk about how to pair waffles with the perfect extras, whether you’re craving something light or hearty.
Toppings
When it comes to topping waffles, there’s no shortage of delicious options to make them even more special. I love starting with fresh fruit toppings like sliced strawberries, bananas, or blueberries—they add a burst of color and natural sweetness. For syrup varieties, I can’t resist classic maple syrup, but sometimes I’ll mix it up with honey, chocolate, or even fruity syrups like raspberry. A sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream can take it to the next level. Experimenting with combinations is part of the fun, and I always find something new to love!
Side Dishes
Though waffles are delicious on their own, pairing them with the right side dishes can turn breakfast or brunch into something truly memorable. I love serving fresh berries or a fruit salad as healthy sides—they add a sweet, revitalizing touch. For something heartier, crispy bacon or scrambled eggs balance the waffles’ sweetness perfectly. If you’re planning a wedding side, consider elegant options like smoked salmon or whipped cream with herbs. Don’t forget maple syrup or honey for drizzling! Mixing savory and sweet keeps things exciting, and trust me, your guests will thank you. It’s all about balance and fun!
