Time 20m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 frozen mini waffles, such as Eggo Minis Homestyle Waffles
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
One 8-ounce container mascarpone
1 tablespoon honey, plus additional for drizzling
Pinch kosher salt
Zest of 1 orange
1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Separate the mini waffles into individual pieces and place on a sheet tray. Brush both sides with the melted butter. Toast in the oven, flipping halfway through, until crispy on the outside but still slightly soft on the inside, 5 to 7 minutes.
Combine the mascarpone, honey, salt and orange zest in a medium bowl and mix until well blended. Spread the mixture on each toasted mini waffle with a butter knife or offset spatula. Garnish each with a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds, fresh mint and a drizzle of honey.
