Waffle-lets



A waffle iron is a fairly functional kitchen tool.

It's often over-looked, and only used on the occasion of making delicious waffles.

But when you have the iron out, go ahead and utilize it for other foods!

One Saturday morning, recently, I decided to cook the eggs in the waffle iron, rather than mess up another pan.

After spending the time to make homemade waffles, I switched gears to make omelets-ish.

After all, there really isn't any residue on the grid when making waffles.

So I just sprayed the iron again and began to pour!

I totally ignored the indicator signal and went by looks to determine when the waffle-lets were done.

Now! Where these "just like" making a real omelet?

No.

But that's ok.

It was a breakfast novelty.

I'd do it again!

Especially with company, because I was able to make 4 servings at a time!

That's awesome!

I kept the waffle-lets warm in the oven until ready to serve.

For the record; I used my Belgian waffle maker rather than the conventional thin waffle.  If you don't have a Belgian waffle iron, you will need to make accommodations as necessary.

Waffle-lets

1 egg per waffle grid on your waffle iron
smidge of milk
salt and pepper, as desired
add-ins:  crumbled bacon, chopped onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, and peppers, and  grated cheese.

Preheat Belgian waffle maker and prepared as directed with cooking spray or oil.

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together, adding in a splash of milk and seasoning, if desired.

Pour the egg mixture into each well of the waffle iron and quickly top with desired add-ins.

Close the waffle iron lid and cook, check frequently to ensure the egg is set without overcooking.

Remove from the waffle iron when done and keep warm in the oven, preheated to 170 degrees, or serve immediately.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
