03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until uniformly blended.

# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Sneaking fresh strawberries into the batter turns each bite into something vibrant and summery, even in winter.
- The outside crisps up beautifully while the inside stays light—it's a recipe you’ll want to share with anyone you love breakfast with.
02 -
- Once I tried to peek early and opened the iron too soon—the waffle split and stuck everywhere, so don’t rush it.
- Letting the batter rest for a few minutes makes the air bubbles settle and the texture fluffier than you’d guess.
03 -
- Keep your bowl of diced fruit dry, as excess moisture can make the batter heavy.
- A splash more vanilla or a pinch of lemon zest in the batter elevates everything without overpowering the strawberries.
