Wafflettes

I meant to post this recipe AGES ago, but then I got sick for 3 months, and then I forgot about it. That is, until today, when I made these again for the first time in. . . . 7 months. 

Wafflettes are my name for this delightful breakfast food: a combination of waffles and omelettes. And they actually taste like quiche. I got the recipe from my roommate/old mission companion/best friend, Annelies. She got it from her mom, Melanie. And I don't know where it came from before that, but it is a favorite in our family. Here is the original recipe, but I usually double it to make it really worth my time. 

Ingredients: 
  • 12 eggo waffles (any brand is fine)
  • 6 wedges Laughing Cow Swiss Cheese (I like the garlic and onion or sundried tomato flavors.)
  • 1 c. chopped ham or bacon
  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 c. plain yogurt (non-fat is okay)
  • 1/4 c. green onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • dash of salt and pepper


Directions: 
  • Preheat the oven to 375.
  • Chop the green onion and ham/bacon. 
  • Spread 1/2 a wedge of laughing cow cheese on each frozen waffle (no need to defrost).
  • Sprinkle the meat on the waffles. 
  • In a bowl, mix together eggs, yogurt, garlic powder, green onion, salt, and pepper. 
  • Spoon egg mixture onto each waffle, taking care to not let it spill over the sides of the waffle. 
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes. 
  • After the wafflettes cool, put them back on the cookie sheet and freeze for a couple hours. Once refrozen, store in freezer bags. 
  • To reheat for a quick breakfast: Microwave for about 45 seconds to thaw and then toast in the toaster. 
YUM!! These are so good, you'll want to eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Oh yum!! I am glad you posted this, because I love waffles for dinner, but Chase isn't a huge fan of the sweet, syrupy waffles, so maybe he will like these savoury ones instead . . .
