Introduction to Savory Waffles
We’ve had our waffle iron for a couple months now, and it’s been a game-changer in our kitchen. So much experimenting has gone down, and I must say that my favorite waffles are these Cauliflower Waffles made with bacon and cheddar cheese. Top them with a dollop of sour cream and some chives, and I’m in waffle heaven. You could now have waffles for breakfast, dinner, and dessert!
Who Doesn’t Want Waffles For Dinner?
Waffles don’t always have to be doused in syrup and butter, although that is a great way to eat them. Sometimes, they are best topped with sour cream, cheese, and chives, which is exactly how I like to eat these savory Cauliflower Waffles! What’s even better is that the macros are on point, so you can indulge in them, and they are super quick to whip up on any given night.
Our Favorite Waffle Maker Recipes
As mentioned above, this is my favorite waffle recipe hands down! However, the cool thing about pancake and waffle batter is that they are completely interchangeable. One of our oldest and dearest recipes is keto macro cakes, and we know they would taste great as waffles too. Make sure to check out our easy wonder bread chaffle recipe; you’ll definitely enjoy it. We also recently created a decadent double chocolate waffle recipe that is the perfect dinner or dessert recipe! Use this recipe as a base and go wild with different fillings. You can do a Mexican-style waffle with chorizo and manchego cheese or a pizza waffle with pepperoni and mozzarella. Options are endless!
Cauliflower Waffles
It wasn’t until recently that I looked at waffles in a savory light, and I must say, I can never go back. I’ve been called waffle girl back in the day, which speaks to not only my obsession with waffles but acceptance of all shapes, sizes, and flavors. Another favorite ingredient of mine to use for a savory waffle base is zucchini. (Just be sure to drain the liquid since it can give off a lot more water.) If you are new to the savory waffle scene, I highly recommend you start with these Cauliflower Waffles because it doesn’t really get any better than bacon and cheese!
