Inspired by the popular Belgian street food and promising even faster preparation than the classic toaster waffle, will these earn a place in the breakfast rotation?<\/p>\n<p>Li\u00e8ge waffles are the most popular waffle variant in the waffle-loving nation of Belgium. They incorporate pearl sugar and use a bread-like dough resulting in a dense, chewy texture. I found all this out <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Waffle#Li\u00e8ge\">from Wikipedia<\/a> because, like most Americans, my experience the breakfast staple begins at Eggo and ends at a diner&#8217;s Belgian waffle. That is all I know, despite the fact one of my grandparents was Belgian, and I assume he had waffle secrets that he took to his grave.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eggoliege2.jpeg?resize=500%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Eggo Grab  Go Liege style Waffles Wrappers\" title=\"eggoliege2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They come individually wrapped and require only thawing to be ready. I rip open a Buttery Maple and take a bite. Condensation from the plastic packaging has caused some soggy spots, but nothing substantial. The golden-brown exterior and maple flavor combine to create a satisfying toasted flavor. Even the Strawberry version tastes mostly of golden brown toastiness. It&#8217;s not bad, but don&#8217;t bite into it expecting to be transported to a summer strawberry field by its fresh strawberry essence.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eggoliege3.jpeg?resize=500%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Eggo Grab  Go Liege style Waffles Exterior\" title=\"eggoliege3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The texture fails to impress when unheated. It\u2019s stiff and dry. The pearl sugar adds interest, but overall, the texture reminds me of a mediocre pastry at a motel continental breakfast. It drastically improves when microwaved for 20 seconds. It softens enough that you can pull it apart to see the strands of bready dough, like the brioche that an authentic Li\u00e8ge waffle is supposed to be, according to Wikipedia. (Curse you, secretive Belgian grandpa!).<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eggoliege4.jpeg?resize=500%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Eggo Grab  Go Liege style Waffles Interior\" title=\"eggoliege4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a hot breakfast take that will have my Belgian grandpa spinning in his grave: waffles are the Ron Weasley of the pancake, French toast, and waffle trio. They&#8217;re not bad, but they&#8217;re the weakest option of the three. Eggos are good, but no one is leaping out of bed in anticipation for one. A diner&#8217;s Belgian waffle is fine, but they&#8217;re all crisp exterior with no substance. Maybe that&#8217;s why I appreciate these Li\u00e8ge-style waffles when heated. The bready texture makes for a substantial treat even without additions.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, Harry is pancakes and Hermione is French toast. I will not be taking questions.<\/p>\n<p>Kellogg&#8217;s Eggo Grab &#038; Go Li\u00e8ge-style waffles are a worthy addition to the Eggo lineup. They&#8217;re fine thawed, but do yourself a favor and heat them. Or maybe really treat yourself and add some powdered sugar, berries, whipped cream, or whatever secret family waffle topping I don&#8217;t know about.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $5.19 each<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 7.76 oz (220g)\/4 pack<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Woodman\u2019s Markets<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10 (Buttery Maple), 6 out of 10 (Strawberry)<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 waffle) 230 calories, 10 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol, 200 milligrams of sodium, 30 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 grams of fiber, 13 grams of sugar including 13 grams added sugar, and 5 gram of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kellogg&#8217;s has introduced new Eggo Grab &#038; Go Li\u00e8ge-style waffles in Strawberry and Buttery Maple flavors.
