Ingredients and Variations
EGGS: Choose large-sized eggs for a super fluffy interior and a crispy exterior. For a more protein-based egg waffle, used a container of only egg whites.
VEGGIES: Diced red bell peppers give egg waffles a little color and crunch, but get creative with other mix-ins like diced mushrooms, sliced, black olives, chopped spinach, sliced green onions, green chilis, or jalapenos.
CHOOSE YOUR CHEESES: Cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey jack, even Mexican cotija can be mixed into the egg waffle batter. The cheese adds flavor to the eggs and makes the outside extra crispy!
SEASONINGS: Stir in a seasoning blend like taco, chili, Cajun, or keep it simple with just salt and pepper. Or, whisk in a splash of hot sauce or salsa.
TOPPINGS: Just like any omelet, egg waffles are delish with a scoop of sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
How to Make Eggs in a Waffle Maker
Whip up these eggs without much effort!
- Whisk ingredients in a bowl and pour into a preheated waffle iron.
- Cook until the waffle is crispy on the outside. (As per recipe below)
- Serve immediately.
Be sure to keep waffles warm in a preheated oven.
How to Store Egg Waffles
For best results, store egg waffles between sheets of parchment paper in a zippered bag in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Simply reheat them by popping them in the toaster. Freeze them between sheets of parchment paper in a zippered bag with the date labeled on the outside and they’ll keep about 4 weeks. They can be reheated from frozen in the toaster!
