Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups waffle mix
- 1 cup diced ham
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease the cooking surfaces with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the waffle mix according to package instructions. For additional flavor, whisk in a pinch of salt and black pepper into the batter.
- Fold the diced ham and half of the chopped green onions into the waffle batter, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Pour the prepared batter into the preheated waffle iron, filling each section about 3/4 full to allow room for expansion. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- While waffles are cooking, in a separate non-stick skillet, prepare sunny-side-up or over-easy eggs, keeping the yolks slightly runny.
- Once waffles are done, place them on serving plates. Top each waffle with a cooked egg and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Garnish with remaining green onions and add additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately while waffles are warm and eggs are fresh, creating a delightful layered stack of savory flavors.
Tips
- Waffle Texture Magic: For extra crispy waffles, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking and avoid overmixing.
- Ham Hack: Use high-quality diced ham or leftover holiday ham for maximum flavor impact.
- Egg Perfection: For the most photogenic eggs, use fresh eggs and cook them carefully to maintain a runny, golden yolk.
- Cheese Tip: Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and more intense flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- Make-Ahead Strategy: Prepare waffle batter and dice ham the night before to speed up morning preparation.
- Customization Bonus: Feel free to swap ham with bacon or add additional herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor complexity.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect contrast between crispy waffles and warm, runny egg yolks.
