There’s something about warm melted cheese paired with sweets that is so good to me. It’s probably because I’m obsessed with the perfect sweet and savory combos. This recipe is so easy and half of it is practically done for you.
You can absolutely make your own brioche or any sweet bread; however, I saw St. Pierre individually wrapped and bagged brioche Belgian waffles at Heinen’s, and had to pair them with melted brie.
I didn’t stop there. I also mixed in a few dollops of apricot preserves, pecans and homemade pomegranate drizzle for added sweetness and color. The result is heavenly!
