Equipment
- Waffle Iron
- Grater
Ingredients
Waffle Base
- 1 medium zucchini grated (about 7 oz)
- 1/2 tsp salt divided
- 4 large eggs
- 6 oz sharp cheddar grated
- 1 clove garlic minced or pressed
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Place your grated zucchini in a colander and toss with 1/4 tsp of salt. Let it drain for about an hour, then squeeze it firmly in a clean kitchen towel to get out as much water as possible.
- Get your waffle iron ready by preheating it and brushing the plates with a little melted butter or cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the squeezed zucchini, cheddar cheese, minced garlic, the remaining 1/4 tsp of salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Stir in the almond flour and baking powder, then pour in the heavy cream, mixing until everything is fully combined.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter onto your hot waffle iron, gently spreading it out. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the rest of your batter.
