A New Breakfast Tradition
My Favorite is Herb-Infused Savory Waffles and I remember the first time I made Herb-Infused Savory Waffles. It was a chilly morning, and I wanted something different from the usual sweet breakfast. I had just bought some fresh rosemary and thyme from the farmer’s market, and their earthy aroma inspired me to experiment. I decided to infuse these herbs into my waffles, hoping they would turn out as delicious as I imagined. Mixing the coconut flour and arrowroot starch with the herbs felt like a little culinary adventure.
The Perfect Batter
As I whisked the eggs with olive oil and water, I could already picture how the waffles would turn out. I slowly combined the wet and dry ingredients, watching the batter come together smoothly. The smell of rosemary and thyme blended with the coconut flour was tantalizing. It was like the batter itself was saying, “Get ready for a special breakfast!” I eagerly poured the batter onto the waffle iron, and soon the kitchen was filled with a warm, inviting aroma.
Crispy and Golden
When I opened the waffle iron to check on my creation, I was greeted with a perfect golden-brown waffle. The edges were crisp, and the center was fluffy—just what I had hoped for. I plated the waffles, adding a fried egg on top and garnishing with fresh rosemary and thyme. Each bite was a delightful combination of savory herbs and light, airy waffle texture. It was clear that these waffles were not only tasty but also a great start to the day.
Sharing the Joy
I couldn’t keep this breakfast secret, so I invited friends over to share the herb-infused waffles. They were amazed at how such simple ingredients could create such a unique and flavorful dish. We talked about how versatile these waffles could be, from a healthy breakfast to a savory brunch option. It felt wonderful to share something I had created and to see how it brightened up our morning. These Herb-Infused Savory Waffles quickly became a cherished recipe in my breakfast rotation.
