Hold The Syrup: 18 Scrumptious Savory Waffle Recipes
If you’re wondering if you can use a waffle iron on that (“that” meaning just about anything edible), the answer is yes. A thousand times yes. While we love a good powdered sugar-coated, syrup-soaked sweet waffle, savory waffles are a whole lot more interesting. And considering we can stock them with plenty of protein and veggies, they don’t make us want to take a sugar nap afterwards. Here are 18 savory waffle recipes from around the web to help you waffle your way through every meal of the day.
1. Waffled Pizza: Pizza waffles from a blogger who is the king of waffles? Of course they will be amazing. (via Will It Waffle)
2. Cheddar Jalapeño Waffles With Sausage Hash: This blogger’s distaste for sweet brunches resulted in this amazingly delicious savory waffle recipe topped with sausage and eggs. She’s convinced it’s the best way to sneakily eat two breakfasts without judgement (and without the overly sweet syrup). (via Bacon Egg + Cheesecake)
3. Pulled Pork Waffle Toasts: A very happy appetizer — anything toast can do, waffles can do better. (via PDX Food Love)
4. Crispy Chicken Waffle Wrap: It’s like a waffle taco (made with a cheddar waffle!) but filled with fried chicken and bacon… so that’s cool with us. (via Little Figgy)
5. Elote-Style Cornbread Waffles: For the uninitiated, elote is a Mexican street food from heaven. It’s grilled corn on the cob, slathered with mayo, chili powder, lime and fresh, crumbly cotija cheese. (via The Cooking of Joy)
6. Chive Waffle Tartine With Oyster Mushrooms and Leeks: These cute little savory waffles were just a small part of what looks like an epic brunch in Philly. (via A Better Happier St. Sebastian)
7. Moong Dal Indian Waffles: These hybrid dosa waffles look good. These dal waffles are made with green lentils (moong dal) and served with a double dose of spicy chutney on top. (via Divine Tastes)
8. Spiced Sweet Potato Waffle Tostada: Do you need some insanely impressive game day eats? Give those tostadas here. (via Lemons + Basil)
9. Seven-Layer Nacho Waffles: Another waffle with south-of-the-border flavor, this one comes topped with black beans, guac and all sorts of goodies. (via Scarletta Bakes)
10. Zucchini Waffle: Will zucchini waffle? Yes it will. These waffles make a perfect base for an epic sandwich or a way to trick your kids/spouse/self into eating more vegetables. (via Food52)
11. Kimchi Fried Rice Waffles: Oh, sweet baby Jesus, that looks so good. (via Miss Hangrypants)
12. Cheddar-Sausage-Sriracha Cornmeal Waffles: Somehow this blogger fit all the most delicious things into a single waffle. Because she’s a wizard. (via Nutmeg Nanny)
13. Bacon-Jalapeño Tater Tot Grilled Cheese: Tater tots as bread?! OH STOP IT, INTERNET. (via Thrillist)
14. Leftover Pizza as Waffles: Throw leftover pizza in the waffle iron rather than the microwave, and you’ll trade soggy crust for the BEST THING EVER. Someone order us a pizza immediately. (via Serious Eats)
15. Fried Chicken and Waffle Grilled Cheese: The original savory waffle dish becomes even more awesome as a sandwich. (via Tastespotting Blog)
16. Waffled Soft Pretzels: Oktoberfest may be over, but these soft pretzels still need to be eaten… by you… very shortly. (via Will It Waffle)
17. Chili + Cornbread Waffles: With fall in full swing, nothing is cozier than a plate full of waffles drowning in chili. You know you want some. (via Yammie’s Noshery)
18. Waffled Ramen: You read that right. Waffled ramen — hold the dorm room. (via Serious Eats)
