Awesome Savory Waffles

Ingredients
Waffle Batter:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Savory Filling Suggestions (but don't limit yourself to just these):
Bacon (cooked, crumbled)
Finely chopped onions (or green onions...or shallots)
Spinach
Cheese

Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Beat egg yolks, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients until smooth. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Add savory ingredients. Before making each waffle, stir batter. Bake in a preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown. 

Notes...we borrowed this idea from a local waffle restaurant, and from all recipes...and then added some stuff to make it our own (of course!).

Suggestion:
Make an awesome breakfast sandwich:
Put a fried egg and some sour cream in-between two waffle squares.
Also, you can freeze whatever waffles you don't eat and warm them up or toast them later.

Caution

Please bear with all the giraffes, as bears and giraffes can get quite rough.
