Made with Wesson Canola Oil, the waffles cook up beautifully crisp on the outside while remaining light and tender inside.

Its light, neutral flavor allows the fresh herbs, citrus, and savory toppings to shine while promoting a golden, delicate texture.

Topped with crème fraîche or sour cream, caviar, smoked salmon, capers, chives, and grated egg, these savory waffle bites offer a luxurious flavor experience that’s surprisingly approachable. Even budget-friendly supermarket caviar creates an elevated presentation that feels worthy of any celebration.
