Perfect Waffle Iron Omelet RECIPE FOR TODAY

Perfect Waffle Iron Omelet

from Chef Kat

Equipment needed:

Waffle iron, mixing bowl, fork or whisk, knife and cutting board for jalapeño, pastry brush (optional)

Ingredients:

• 4 whole eggs
• 1 tsp finely diced jalapeño
• salt, pepper
• 2 tsp chives or green onions, finely sliced
• 1 Tbsp grated cheddar cheese
• Non-stick cooking spray or melted butter with brush

Instructions:

1) Using your cutting board and knife, finely dice your jalapeño and set aside. Finely slice your chives or green onions and set aside.

2) In a mixing bowl, crack your eggs and scramble with either a fork or a whisk. Season with salt and pepper. Add in your finely diced jalapeño, your sliced green onions, and the grated cheddar cheese.

3) Preheat your waffle iron! When it’s ready (mine – an Oster Flip Belgian Waffle Maker with a ceramic coating – has a green light that says “ready!”) open it up and either spray the iron with your non-stick cooking spray (here are a few unique options: Avocado Oil Non Stick Cooking Spray, Coconut Oil Cooking Spray, or just good ol fashion PAM), or brush melted butter on the grate.

4) Pour your eggs into the waffle iron, and close the cover. *If you have a fancy flip waffle iron, go ahead and flip it. However you would normally cook waffles – follow the same procedures for these eggs!

5) When your waffle iron gives you the green light that your “Waffles” are ready, open up the waffle iron.

6) TA-DA! Grab the eggs out of the waffle iron (they will be hot, you might need to use a fork or spatula) and place them right on your plate. You can top with whatever toppings you desire! We love ours topped with our Chipotle Pulled Pork on top!
