Sunday Brunch Savoury Waffles

We love waffles and I’ve made breakfast waffles with oats, bananas, nuts, and a lot more, but Sunday brunch savoury waffles are so much more. You can put so many different types of vegetables and meats into them. Try them with prosciutto, ham, bacon, and chicken, to name a few. They are a perfect brunch idea.

The Vegetables

I have tried to chop everything and just put that into the batter, but I found cooking the onion and mushrooms and slightly sweating the spinach makes the crepes more delicious.

• Chop 1/2 a red onion.
• Mince 1 garlic clove.
• Finely chop one green chili.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of oil into the pan and put the onion, garlic, and green chili into a pan over medium heat.
• Cook them for about 2 mins so that they soften.
• Once the onions have softened, chop and put the mushrooms into the pan. Mushrooms tend to soften and ooze their liquid if overcooked, so toss them in the pan for about 1/2 min.
• Throw in the chopped spinach and toss for about 1 min.
• Finely chop the red pepper and add that and the corn into the pan and turn the heat off and take the pan off the heat. All of these vegetables tend to let go of their water if left on the heat too long. Do not add salt to the vegetables either. This too will make the vegetables lose water.

The Sauce

While the cooked vegetables are cooling, you can make a dipping sauce to go with the savoury waffles. I like to make avocado and greek yogurt sauce.

In a food processor, place 1/2 avocado chopped into large chunks. You can use frozen or fresh avocado. In goes 1/2 cup of fresh greek yogurt, one clove of garlic, 1 green onion, juice of 1/2 lime, 1/4 cup of fresh mint, and 2 tablespoons of good quality olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend everything to a smooth consistency. I like it thick so you can spoon it instead of pouring it on. I like to use this as a dip with chips too. But if you prefer it slightly more liquid, you can add water to it to get the consistency you like.

The Gluten Free Batter

Waffle batter is very similar to pancake or crepe batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of gluten free flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika (or red chili for a spicier version).

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whip 3 eggs and add 1 1/2 cups of milk to it. Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil to the egg and milk mix.

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together to form a batter. It will be runnier than pancake batter and slightly thicker than crepe batter.

Now that the vegetables have had time to cool, you can mix them into the batter. Mix them well so that every bite of the waffle you eat will have some vegetables in it.

And finally, you are ready to make the savoury waffles. Heat your waffle maker as per the directions and cook the waffles till they are crisp.

Enjoy your Sunday brunch with a side of dipping sauce. I make a second dipping sauce. This one is slightly sweet and goes well with the saltiness of the waffles. Take some sweet chili sauce and mix it with some greek yogurt or sour cream and that’s it. The sweet chili sauce is delicious on its own, but the yogurt or sour cream adds a creaminess to it.

Enjoy right off the waffle maker or make ahead and toast when ready to enjoy.
