You know, I really am sorry to break it to you... but you've probably been missing out all these years. All of those mornings where you sat around the table eating those chocolate chip/blueberry or God forbid plain waffles you probably thought to yourself "how could breakfast get any better?" Well dear reader I'm about to change all of the morning/afternoon/evening meals you will eat in the future. What if I told you waffles aren't the only food you can make in a "waffle iron"? I have put together a list of 11 things you can whip up in your waffle iron, and blow your kids/guests/friends... really anybody's mind. Hope you enjoy!
(Oh yeah, and just a helpful reminder, to alwaysmake sure to use some sort of nonstick spray before anything goes into the iron--trust me been there done that!)
1. For the traditional breakfast person:
Waffled eggs! Don't be shy with the ingredients you add to your eggs. Not going to lie, I even add hot sauce to mine to give them some kick!
2. To go with your eggs:
Waffled bacon. Just clean iron afterwards because, you know, bacteria.
3. For the lunch lover:
A waffled cheeseburger! I like to put the buns in so it is extra crunchy.
4. For the cheese lover:
Waffled quesadilla! One of my favorite meals to make in the iron! (I like to add chicken breast as well)
5. For the Italian food lover:
Waffled pizza pockets! Fold pepperoni and cheese into biscuit dough and let the iron do the rest!
6. For the seafood lover:
Waffled crab cakes! Just make sure to wash thoroughly after.
7. For the chip lover:
Waffled tortilla chips! Cut strips of your favorite flour tortillas and leave in the iron until crispy.
8. For the chocolate lover:
Waffled brownies! Okay, for all of you chocolate lovers out there, this is the real deal. (My only advice for this one is to make sure the batter is thick enough and not too runny.)
9. For the salt lover:
Waffled soft pretzels. Auntie Anne’s…who? (Perfect salty snacks without even leaving your home!)
10. For the potato lover:
Waffled hash browns! All you have to do is wait for your frozen tater tots to thaw and place them on the iron to cook. That easy!
11. For those of you with the sweet tooth:
Waffled cinnamon rolls! This is definitely my guilty pleasure when fruits just don’t cut it.
Enjoy!
