Crispy-edged yet tender savory waffles enriched with cottage cheese and sharp cheddar, punctuated by scallions and spinach. A high-protein, satisfying bite that toasts up beautifully from fresh or frozen.
Preheat a nonstick waffle iron.
In a medium bowl, mix cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, egg, and minced scallions.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, fine sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just until faint flour streaks remain—do not overmix.
Fold in the finely chopped baby spinach until just combined; the batter will be thick.
Generously spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with oil spray.
Add batter to the waffle iron and cook until deeply golden, crisp on the outside, and cooked through.
Remove waffle and repeat if needed. Add desired toppings and serve.
