Savory Cheese Chive Waffles are a delightful twist on your regular breakfast waffles. These waffles are packed with cheese, herbs, and a hint of sun-dried tomatoes, making them a perfect savory treat. The combination of mozzarella, parmesan, and chives results in a flavorful, cheesy waffle that you can enjoy on its own or as a side dish. This recipe is also an excellent way to add vegetables like cauliflower to your diet in a delicious form.
Instructions:
- Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or a food processor until finely shredded. You should end up with roughly 1 cup of grated cauliflower.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and beaten eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the cheese and egg mixture. Stir until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
4. Add Vegetables and Herbs:
- Mix in the finely grated cauliflower, chopped chives, chopped parsley, and the chopped sun-dried tomato. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle plates with a non-stick spray or a light brush of oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour an appropriate amount of the waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Repeat with remaining batter.
7. Serve:
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a cooling rack to keep them crisp. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of hot sauce, or your favorite savory toppings.
Tips:
- Make sure to finely grate the cauliflower to ensure a smooth waffle batter and an even cook.
- Drain any excess moisture from the cauliflower to prevent the waffles from becoming too soggy.
- Allow the waffle maker to preheat thoroughly before adding the batter, as this helps achieve a crisp exterior.
- Feel free to add more herbs like thyme or rosemary for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve the waffles immediately while they're hot and crispy for the best texture.
Savory Cheese Chive Waffles are an ingenious way to incorporate veggies, cheese, and herbs into a savory breakfast or snack.
