Summary

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.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat a nonstick waffle iron.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, mix cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, egg, and minced scallions.

  3. 3

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, fine sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. 4

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just until faint flour streaks remain—do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Fold in the finely chopped baby spinach until just combined; the batter will be thick.

  6. 6

    Generously spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with oil spray.

  7. 7

    Add batter to the waffle iron and cook until deeply golden, crisp on the outside, and cooked through.

  8. 8

    Remove waffle and repeat if needed. Add desired toppings and serve.
