Crispy waffles topped with fresh strawberries and billowy whipped cream are a vegetarian family brunch showstopper. This beautiful, fruity breakfast feels indulgent while celebrating fresh, seasonal fruit.
Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions to ensure even browning.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt for uniform dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk well to combine.
Pour wet ingredients into dry, stirring gently until just combined—do not overmix to keep your waffles light.
Lightly grease the hot waffle iron; ladle batter in and cook per iron instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, until golden and crisp.
While waffles cook, slice fresh strawberries and whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Serve waffles immediately, layering with strawberries and a generous dollop of whipped cream for best texture.
