spinach waffles

Crisp on the outside, fluffy and cheesy inside, these spiced tofu &amp; spinach waffles are Indian palak paneer-inspired savory waffles. GF option

Spinach Waffles (Palak Tofu Waffles)

all-purpose flour

flour

yeast

salt

baking powder

baking soda

garlic powder

yogurt

water

spinach

tofu

onion

cilantro (optional)

mozzarella cheese

sesame seeds

In a bowl, add the dry ingredients. That&#39;s the flour, semolina, almond flour, salt, spices, baking soda, and nutritional yeast and optional seeds. Mix really well.

Then add in the spinach, tofu, onions, cilantro, cheese, and yogurt. Drizzle in 1/2 cup of water and mix up the batter. The batter will most likely be thick, so keep adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you have like a muffin batter consistency that&#39;s slightly loose, but not too flowy like pancake batter.

Let this mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes. If you're using semolina, this mixture will thicken and you will have to add more water as you keep cooking the waffles. With almond flour, you will not need more water.

Preheat your waffle maker, add a few drops of oil, then scoop the waffle batter   into the waffle maker. Spread out the batter, drizzle a few more drops of oil on top, and close the waffle maker.

Cook until the waffles are golden on both edges. This will take much longer than your usual waffles because of the extra moisture content in the spinach and tofu. So even if your indicator says that the waffle is done, you want to continue cooking it until it is golden. Remove the waffle and repeat for all the remaining batter. If the batter is thickening up too much while it's sitting, add another tablespoon of water and mix it in, then continue.

Make all the waffles and set them on a cooling rack or set them in an oven which is heated to 300° F (148° C) so that they stay warm and crisp. Once all the spinach waffles are done, serve them with salsa or some chopped tomatoes. Chutneys -- like mango cilantro, or tomato chutney -- or ketchup or Szechuan sauce or other dips of choice are great with spinach waffles.

Crispy warm waffles topped with spicy cool pillows of whipped cream - a colorful and fun breakfast or brunch!

Scoop about 1/2 cup into middle of prepared waffle iron (depending on size of iron). Close and cook per machine instructions. I cooked mine about 3-4 minutes on one side, flipping and cooking another minute (using a waffle iron that flips).

These savory waffles filled with spinach, ham, and cheddar cheese make a quick breakfast for a busy morning. The addition of whole wheat flour makes these crispy waffles more wholesome and hearty.  Makes 4 waffles

Savory Waffles with Spinach, Ham, and Cheese

baby spinach (roughly chopped)

deli ham (roughly sliced)

cheddar cheese

whole wheat flour

tsp baking powder

milk

tbsp butter

oil spray

Preheat the waffle iron to medium to medium-dark setting.

In a large mixing bowl, combine spinach, deli ham slices, and cheddar cheese. Add the flours, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Toss together roughly with kitchen tongs.

Pour in milk and melted butter and toss everything with kitchen tongs to moisten. The batter will be on the thick side. Add more milk if you prefer a looser batter—but this is not a batter that you pour.

Oil spray the hot waffle iron if needed. Put a fourth of the waffle batter on the hot waffle iron and close the lid (Flip it upside down if your waffle iron has the feature). Cook until golden and crisp. (Waffle irons vary in cooking time, so adjust the time accordingly.)

Gently take the waffle out of the iron and place on a wired rack. Serve the waffles with sour cream and hot sauce or other favorite topping.

To keep these waffles warm, keep them in a warm 175˚F oven while you cook the next one. Make sure to place the waffles on a wire rack to prevent them from getting soggy.

We loved this recipe! This ramped up our typical Chicken and Waffles dinner to another level. Thank you so much!

I made these with spinach, bacon, and a cheddar cheese blend. Absolutely delicious. My picky toddler says, “Mmm!” 

I love these waffles! I’ve made them several times using whatever is in the fridge and they are delicious Every. Single. Time. 

Fantastic!  What a great balanced and quick dinner.  We topped with chèvre and red pepper jelly.  I rarely print and have never commented, but this recipe is deserving of both.  A new go to.  

Great recipe! I made these for my 18 month old and he loves it! Although, I didn't have ham, but it still tasted great. I also added some mushroom powder for extra nutrients for the lil one Thank you!

These waffles sound great. Can't wait to try them for a savory supper with eggs. I have to lower the sodium count for 2 family members with health issues, so I want to replace the ham.  Would it work to add chopped mushtrooms?  I haven't tried using fresh mushrooms in a waffle iron.  

Thanks for a great-sounding recipe.

Easy to make and deliciously savory!  This is the first time I used a waffle iron and so I didn't really know the outcome....the irons were definately HOT and browned a bit more than yours, but they turned out amazing!  I think this is a great recipe to subsitute left over deli meats and cheeses (plus supergreens)....roast beef (w/horseradish) &amp; cheddar, turkey (with dry ranch dressing) &amp; swiss, pepperoni &amp; provolone, and sausage &amp; jack.  So many choices! PS - I didn't have spray, so I basted the irons with avocado oil.

Excellent tasting savory waffle!  Could easily switch out cheeses too, so, ham &amp; swiss, provolone &amp; salami, fontina &amp; pepperoni, roast beef (w/horseradish) &amp; cheddar, turkey ranch &amp; swiss, sausage &amp; jack cheese, perfect way to use up left overs!  Easy to make!
