Notes

Kasey's Tips
  • Make it Ahead: You can make the waffle batter the night before and store it in the fridge. This way, all you need to do is cook them in the morning for a quick and easy breakfast!
  • Customize the Flavor: Feel free to mix in your favorite savory ingredients! Try adding crumbled bacon, chopped spinach, or even grated parmesan for a new twist every time.
  • Perfect Pairing: Serve these waffles with a fried egg on top for a satisfying, balanced meal. The creamy yolk pairs perfectly with the crispy waffle texture, creating a delicious combination!
