The weather has been unseasonably warm this winter and it has me thinking about all things spring! Farmers markets, blooming flowers in the garden, and brunch with friends are some of my favorite things. When I am hosting friends for breakfast, I love any idea that lets my guests create their own breakfast goodies. So I created a Sweet & Savory Waffle Bar. Y’all, it is so easy to throw this together! Be sure to watch the video tutorial down below to plan your own waffle bar.
To get started, head over to Target and grab your favorite flavors of Eggo waffles. I like the ease of frozen waffles. I chose to serve Eggo Thick & Fluffy Original Waffles as well as Eggo Chocolatey Chip Waffles. I toasted mine right before serving to make them crisp and fresh. Did you know Eggo has a new formulation that is free from artificials? All Eggo products are now made with colors and flavors from natural sources. Even better! Offer fun flavor combinations with different flavored syrups and honey. I found a chipotle & ginger infused honey that I used for the savory combinations. OMGoodness! So delicious. And I only use real maple syrup…it is worth the extra expense for the taste and the goodness straight from the tree.
Cut the waffles into fourths and place one section in a small jelly jar and pour syrup or honey in each one. Fill small bowls with fresh fruits, granola, savory options like sausage and bacon, and don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. I cut up mini cinnamon rolls found in the bakery for a fun sweet option. Let your guests create their own combinations and enjoy! Some of my favorite sweet combinations were blackberry & cinnamon roll with real maple syrup. My favorite savory combination was mango and sausage with the chipotle & ginger infused honey. It has a kick of spice that is perfect for anything savory. And you can’t go wrong with a classic combination of berries and real maple syrup.

A sweet and savory waffle bar? What a fantastic idea! We’ll be recreating your waffle bar next time we get the family together for brunch! Thank you for sharing #client

These look fantastic! And your photos are beautiful. But there’s no way I’ll stop by Target for waffles. I can make my own with a super waffle maker I got a Macy’s and freeze them – then just pop them out of the freezer and toast them when I want. I can control the amount of additives in the waffles that way (and change up the recipe if I want!)

Thanks Stella! I love the idea of making your own…delicious! For those of us who don’t have the waffle maker or the time, I am just glad that Eggo has a new formulation that is free from artificials! Now that Eggo products are made with colors and flavors from natural sources, it makes me feel better about taking the convenience route 🙂
