Savory Sage and Cheddar Waffles

Keto Recipes > Keto Breakfast Recipes

Waffles might be a breakfast food, slathered in sweet syrup, but they also make a great savory treat. Waffles are ideal for tartines (open faced stacked sandwiches). They also make great sandwiches filled with your favorite meats and cheeses.

This version makes a terrific “bread.” The sage and cheddar cheese flavors could compliment a wide range of sandwich combinations.

The key to making these waffles with success is not over-filling the waffle iron. The batter is thick and doesn’t pour out thin across the surface. Using a scoop to place the dough on the iron is a great way to get evenly cooked waffles that are uniform in shape.

About 2 cycles at a moderate heat setting give a nice exterior crust with a tender center that cooked well.

For storing leftovers you must cool the waffles completely. Then wrap each waffle in plastic wrap or foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature and warm in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying.

You can mix up the flavors a bit, if you like, and create unique waffles. All you have to do is change the seasonings and cheese. Try substituting Italian seasoning and mozzarella cheese for a pizza style waffle!
