WHAT CAN YOU MAKE IN A WAFFLE MAKER?

I love the versatility of the waffle maker. It is great for so much more than just regular waffles. If I am going to take up space in my pantry I want to know that the appliance will get a lot of use.

It amazes me how creative you can get with a waffle iron. I am not always in the mood for a “sweet” breakfast and love that I can make savory recipes in my waffle maker too.

• Cornbread is one of the first “unique” recipes I made in my waffle maker. I just poured the batter in and boom…cute little waffle-cut cornbread popped out.
• Almost any kind of thick batter can be cooked in the waffle maker. The texture may end up different than if you cooked it in the oven, but that is part of the fun. Brownies are always a good bet, and these Cake Mix Waffles!
• It is fun to make waffle omelets. Just whisk your eggs and other ingredients together and pour them into the waffle maker. YUM!

HOW TO MAKE HAM AND CHEESE HASH BROWN WAFFLES

A waffle maker is a kitchen appliance that older children can learn to use. This is a fun breakfast recipe to teach kids to make! Get ready for breakfast in bed, mom. Maybe next, you should try this Air Fryer Breakfast Casserole recipe.

STEP ONE: THAW HASH BROWNS

You will want to start with thawed hash browns. If you buy frozen hash browns pour them into a large bowl and let them sit on the counter until they thaw.

You can also buy the fresh hash browns in the cooler section at the store. These are very handy!

When the hash browns are thawed place them on a plate covered with a paper towel. Press a 2nd paper towel on top to soak up any extra moisture.

Put the hash browns back into the bowl.

STEP TWO: ADD HAM & CHEESE

Turn the waffle maker on so it has a few minutes to heat up.

Now add the pre-cooked ham to the bowl. I always buy the pre-cooked already diced ham.

If you have leftover ham to use that works great too, just dice it up.

Add the shredded cheese to the bowl.

STEP THREE: EGGS

Add the 2 eggs to a small bowl and whisk them.

Pour the eggs into the big bowl of hash browns, ham, and cheese.

Stir these ingredients together so they are well mixed.

STEP FOUR: COOK

Lightly spray the waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray.

Pour a cup of hash brown mixture onto the waffle maker. Spread it around so you have an even layer and close the lid.

Cook for 8 minutes or until golden brown!

Remove the ham and cheese hash brown waffles from the waffle iron and serve with diced green onion and sriracha if desired.
