Instructions
-
Prepare the Peppers and Garlic Confit:
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sweet peppers and sauté until brown and soft (20-30 minutes), stirring occasionally for even browning.
-
Add garlic during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to soften and brown.
-
In the last 5 minutes, add red wine vinegar to add a tangy flavor and deglaze any browned bits from the pan.
-
-
Make the Egg Waffle Base:
-
In a bowl, mix together the eggs, hashbrowns (or grated potato), bacon (or other meats), shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and spinach (if using).
-
-
Cook the Egg Waffles:
-
Preheat a nonstick waffle maker. Spray with cooking spray if necessary.
-
Pour 1/2–3/4 cup of the egg mixture onto the waffle maker (amount will depend on your waffle maker size).
-
Place cheese chunks on top, close the lid, and cook until the waffle is golden and the eggs are set (about 1-2 minutes). If not fully cooked, flip or cook for an additional minute.
-
-
Top the Waffles:
-
Carefully remove the waffles and top with goat cheese, peppers and garlic confit, romesco sauce, avocado, chives, and hot sauce. Serve and enjoy!
-
Notes
-
The waffles are customizable! Add or omit toppings like bacon, sausage, or extra veggies to suit your taste.
-
For a homemade romesco sauce, blend roasted red peppers, garlic, almonds, and olive oil for a smoky, tangy sauce.
