I am SO excited about today’s savory waffle recipe. In my eyes, it’s a real winner for brinner!
That was a terrible rhyme. I’m sorry.
But more importantly, I want to know if you’re excited about it. Because when I put a teaser photo up on Facebook last week, a lot of people were like “what have you done to waffles?” or “waffles are vehicles for maple syrup, not vegetables.”, etc.
This was not the response I was expecting to get. I definitely thought savory waffles were kind of a thing now. Am I wrong?
So tell me. Are you into the idea of savory waffles? Or not? Be honest (but polite, please!). Your input will help me to plan out my future cooking endeavors. Thanks in advance!
For now, we’re going to proceed with today’s recipe for Savory Waffles with Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower as initially planned. So if you’re grossed out by the idea of a savory waffle, then I guess just look away for the time being. Sorry about that.
I don’t do breakfast for dinner (= brinner) very often, but when I do I typically go savory (I like to reserve my sweet tooth for things like ice cream and chocolate mousse!). And these savory sour cream waffles with cheddar cheese, scallions and fresh parsley really hit the spot. I topped mine with a mixture of roasted broccoli and cauliflower (both in season right now), but asparagus would also be an excellent choice. And if you wanted to add an egg, a dollop of ricotta cheese or a few shakes of hot sauce, those would all be good options as well. The waffle is really just a blank canvas for your favorite toppings!
For me, two waffles topped with about 1 1/2 cups of the roasted vegetables is a perfect serving size for dinner. But you could certainly add a side salad (or additional vegetables) if you’re feeling extra hungry. Since I’m a single lady, I inevitably end up with leftover waffles. But lucky for me, they freeze beautifully. All you have to do is place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in your freezer to freeze. Once the waffles are frozen, transfer them to a zip-closure bag for longer storage. Then when a craving strikes, just pop one in the toaster or your oven to thaw. Easy peasy!
This whole meal comes together in under 30 minutes, which makes it perfect for this months addition of 30 Minute Thursday. Hooray!
