Belgian Chocolate Bread Pudding
Leftover Challah bread soaks up a rich cocoa-infused custard before being topped off with chopped chocolate and baked to delicious, almost brownie-like perfection. The only thing that would make it better is a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
Beer-Infused Belgian Waffles
This recipe is combination of Brussels waffles and Liege waffles. The sugar chunks caramelize as you cook, which makes them crunch and delicious. Light enough to serve with syrup for breakfast, but rich enough to serve with ice cream or sauces for dessert.
Pears Poached in Spiced Red Wine
From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everbody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” Ruth recommends this as an accompaniment to her Christmas Turkey. I make this once a year for Thanksgiving. Note: Prepare several hours prior to, if not the day before, serving.
Van Gelder Dutch Baby
A warm souffle-style soft thick pan-cake, made from simple ingredients you probably have in your cupboard already. Perfect for a quick and easy meal or snack when you don’t feel like shopping. I make these for company or just because. They are so easy, delicious and lovely to look at, they are a completely satisfying snack, breakfast or dessert anytime. Also extremely versatile! I sometimes leave out the sugar and lemon and add a teaspoon of savory herbs and salt, then add grated cheese and sausage as a topping/filling at the end for a more hearty breakfast. My recipe is for a 12″ skillet, if you use a regular 8″ or 9″ pie pan, reduce servings to 6 above (or just cut recipe to 3/4).
