Savory Ricotta Chive Waffles

Savory Ricotta Chive Waffles - the outsides are crisp while the insides are soft and fluffy, flavoured with a gentle tang of ricotta and burst of oniony chives.

Let’s talk about savory waffles. Savory waffles get no love. They’re the sad cousin of the sweet waffle, who is attention-seeking with her sweetness and colourful berry garnishes, always drowned in maple syrup or fruit compote.

Savory waffles are subtle and understated. Really, you can eat them anywhere you’d eat a piece of toast – and I would suggest that they are even tastier than a piece of toast because you can easily customize their flavour.

Here I’ve made Savory Ricotta Chive Waffles – the outsides are crisp while the insides are soft and fluffy, flavoured with a gentle tang of ricotta and burst of oniony chives.

(Psst, the secret to the fluffiest waffles is separating the egg and whisking your egg whites!)

I served savory waffles alongside Fluffiest Scrambled Eggs and strips of local smoked bacon. And a milky latte, of course.

This breakfast fueled the hubs and I to do many necessary weekend errands (grocery shopping, cleaning the house 🙁 ) and kept us full until it was time to prep dinner.

That’s my kind of weekend breakfast.
