Light, fluffy eggs with crisp edges and melted cheddar make a quick, protein-rich breakfast using your waffle iron.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tablespoon grated cheddar cheese

  • 1 teaspoon milk

  • Salt, to taste

  • Cooking spray or oil, for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron. Heat according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease the cooking surfaces.

  2. Whisk the ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, cheddar cheese, milk, and a pinch of salt.

  3. Pour into the waffle iron. Carefully pour the egg mixture across the cooking surface, spreading it evenly without overfilling.

  4. Cook the eggs. Close the lid and cook for about 3–4 minutes, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions, until the egg is fully set.

  5. Serve warm. Carefully remove the egg waffle and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Grease thoroughly: A light coating of oil or cooking spray helps prevent sticking.

  • Don’t overfill: Egg expands as it cooks, so leave room to prevent overflow.

  • Check for doneness: Cooking times vary by waffle iron. Make sure the egg is fully set before serving.

  • Use a nonstick-safe utensil: Avoid metal tools that can scratch the waffle iron’s surface.
