Waffles for dinner

Living alone with 3 kids I opt for easy weeknight dinners.
So today we had waffles

It’s a salty batter with grated cheese and herbs added to it.

Top it with some salsa and salad and you have a somewhat healthy no fuss dinner, that doesn’t lead to discussions with the kids.

If someone is interested I’m happy to post the recipe.

Savory waffles is a great idea, that looks yummy. I bet they would also be good for lunchboxes.

That’s a pretty good idea. They taste amazing while warm but I haven’t tried eating them cold.
You can also add chopped sun dried tomatoes and they get a somewhat pizzary flavor.

These look and sound tasty!

Your post has reminded me of the chaffles I used to make in our mini waffle maker. They’re made with a batter consisting of egg and cheese and I really enjoy them. But, I tend to forget all about them if I haven’t made them in a while.

Yes, please post the recipe! I have only had sweet waffles (for dinner) so this sounds very interesting!

We occasionally have sweet waffles for dinner, too. But when my kids one time requested Crepes for dinner I made a deal with them that they should eat at least ne with a savory filling before eating the next one with syrup or sugar.
So after that I thought about that savory waffles would be a good option, too.
I try to post the recipe later tonight or tomorrow.

No rush!
But thats a good idea. Our Swedish pancakes are almost like crepes, with jam and whipped creme. Often times eaten as dessert with pea soup.

But as you say, good with a savory filling for a more “full” food, and not just the sweet.

My aunt made waffles with ham and cheese in the batter when I was a kid. It was the best thing ever!

When I make savoury waffles I use my regular recipe but substitute some of the flour for graham flour. My recipe uses no sugar in it. Then we use savoury toppings. Last time it was smoked salmon, fish roe, smetana, and chopped spring onion.

This makes me want to experiment with other additions to the batter!

I bet they would make great sandwiches too. I like the heart shapes.

I’ve used normal waffles to make ice cream sandwiches
