Gourmet and comforting, sweet waffles are a hit with young and old alike. In recent years, they have ranged from sweet to savory. Have you ever thought about surprise your guests or your family with waffles as an aperitif or as a main course? You should try !
The idea of the savory waffle is at the same time original, practical and fast. Got leftovers lying in the back of your fridge and you don’t know how to use them? The savory waffle is a good alternative in this case and several options are available to you.
The two savory waffle techniques
You can opt for the classic technique with a cheese-based dough to which you add the various ingredients you have on hand: herbs, vegetables, cold cuts, etc. All cut into small pieces to integrate them into the waffle dough. It is in particular a good way to do eat vegetables for children by camouflaging them inside, they will only see fire! Then all you have to do is take out your waffle iron and cook them in the classic way until the waffles are golden brown. If you put green vegetables, they will also be colorful and will intrigue your toddlers even more.
The other option is more user-friendly and will delight the whole family. It is about making a potato waffle batter or sweet potatoes that everyone can then garnish at their convenience, like bagels, wraps or blinis. You will only have to make the waffle dough then cook them and take out all the accompaniments on the table. The most greedy can even do like the Belgians who had the idea of the “Waffle burger”, a revisit of the traditional burger by replacing the buns (burger buns) by salty waffles. In the same way, the club-sandwich and the croque-monsieur have had the right to their variation in club’waffle and croq’gaufre. Good ideas that will satisfy all hunger.
