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.
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.
WOW was I surprised at the fresh flavor in this crunchy salad. Both hubby and I really enjoyed it a lot – the dressing is the secret! If you don’t have baby turnips, feel free to add carrots, broccoli, cauliflower or another crunchy veggie. Adapted from a recipe from The Fruit Guys.
I used this recipe in week 26 of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Belgium is my 26th stop. I never use any recipe for my blog that I’m not reasonably sure is from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. This appetizer uses Belgian Abbey cheese and homemade pear syrup; but you could really use any soft cheese if you aren’t worried about authenticity, and you could also use a store-bought pear syrup.
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).
