Compare Brioche Style Liège Waffles

Did you know there is more than one kind of Belgian waffle? Breakfast eaters most often enjoy Brussels-style waffles, which are fairly large and rectangular with light, airy insides, and an exterior crunch—similar to Trader Joe’s Belgian Waffles. But another Belgian waffle has been gaining global fans in recent years, and it hails from the city of Liège. Trader Joe’s Brioche Style Liège Waffles follow in this tradition. Made for us in Belgium, our Liège Waffle dough not only includes flour, yeast, water, and salt—but also incorporates cultured butter, pearl sugar, and egg. This recipe yields a denser Waffle with buttery, brioche-like flavor. Compared to Brussels-style waffles, these are smaller and roundish, with rustic, uneven edges. And there’s a distinct crunch that comes from the bits of sugar strewn throughout these handheld batter-cakes. Waffle lovers will be enamored by the fact that Trader Joe’s Brioche Liège Waffles can be enjoyed at room temperature, no toasting required. Enjoy them for an afternoon snack, as many Europeans do. Or grab one on your way out the door in the morning for a quick, satisfying breakfast. Of course, you can still opt to top them with whatever you like. Try serving some Brioche Style Liège Waffles after dinner with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream. You’ll find Trader Joe’s Brioche Style Liège Waffles on the shelves in our bakery section, every day.
