My present “veggie kick” led me to make these waffled hash browns with simply cauliflower. The cauliflower waffles had been quick, tasty, and an effective way so as to add hid veggies to a meal.
My solely warning is that it’s essential be quick between cooking and serving these, as I discovered mine to go from crispy to limp in 5 minutes or much less. Whereas this was unlucky for the feel issue, the waffle shapes had been nonetheless very pleasant.
I used my Cuisinart griddle with waffle plates preheated to 375°F. My waffle plates have 4 slots of 4×3 inches. I used 1/4 cup of batter per slot by including 2 cups without delay after which accommodating the batter into every slot to help in waffle elimination.
For the reason that slower batter addition cooled my iron high lid, I needed to flip every waffle to make sure each side had been crispy. This was not troublesome. I by no means had this difficulty with common batter earlier than, so I’m assuming that it’s due to the denser veggie filling.
Every batch cooked in a complete of 9 minutes with 1 minute being the turning and crisping of the highest aspect. My waffles had been crispy on the skin with creamy interiors. For the reason that exterior crispiness was short-lasting, I like to recommend having the toppings prepared.
In as a lot because the filling of the waffle iron was a bit longer than normal and every waffle wanted to be turned on the iron plates, the 4 waffles per batch had been handy for consuming whereas nonetheless crispy.
I made mine as a “breakfast for dinner” meal with a aspect of Japanese model cucumber salad. For toppings, we had a trio of kewpie mayo with Thai chili jam, kewpie mayo and blue cheese, and yogurt with spicy chili crisp.
I discovered the inside to be a bit greasy and in future would cut back the quantity of oil and forgo the mayo topping regardless that it was negligible. The tangy yogurt topping was the favorite. Salsa would have labored properly too.
The garlic salt was adequate salt as every individual added their very own salt and pepper to style. A sprinkle of chopped scallions greens and a few basil freshened up the flavours.
Whereas this isn’t a recipe that I’d make incessantly, I might preserve it in my repertoire of enjoyable veggie meals. You by no means know while you’re going to wish a hid veggie deal with…
