Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Fillings
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced cooked bacon or breakfast sausage
- ¼ cup chopped bell pepper
- ¼ cup chopped onion
For Cooking
- Non-stick cooking spray or melted butter for greasing the waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Add Fillings: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced cooked bacon or breakfast sausage, chopped bell pepper, and chopped onion until evenly distributed in the egg mixture.
- Cook the Frittaffle: Pour the egg mixture into the center of the preheated waffle iron just enough to cover the surface without overflowing. Close the lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the frittaffle is golden brown.
- Remove and Repeat: Carefully remove the frittaffle using a spatula. Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture.
- Serve: Serve the frittaffles warm with optional toppings like hot sauce, avocado, or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
Notes
- You can customize the frittaffle with any leftover vegetables, meats, or cheeses you have on hand.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon or sausage and add spinach, mushrooms, or other vegetables.
- Use a Belgian waffle maker for thicker frittaffles or a standard waffle iron for crispier edges.
- Ensure not to overfill the waffle iron to prevent overflow and uneven cooking.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
