Father’s Day excitement: Turn brunch into a design-your-own waffle bar.
We adapted this idea from Peach Valley Cafe, which has a variety of tasty waffles on the menu.
Prepare a waffles bar for brunch, game day or party fare.
Make your favorite waffles (we go for whole grain) and decide on your toppings, sweet or savory:
SAVORY WAFFLE TOPPINGS
Chopped fresh herbs (basil, chives, dill, parsley)
Chopped green onions (scallions)
Grilled vegetable strips
Hot sauce
Salsa
Sautéed cherry tomatoes
Sour cream, Greek yogurt or crème fraîche
|
PROTEIN TOPPINGS FOR SAVORY WAFFLES
Bacon
Cheese: crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese, shredded Cheddar or mozzarella
Chicken/turkey
Chili
Eggs: fried, hard-cooked/sliced, poached, scrambled
Grilled shrimp
Ham
|
SWEET TOPPINGS
Candies: chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, toffee bits
Cottage cheese flavored with cinnamon sugar
Crème fraîche, mascarpone, whipped cream
Crumbled Oreos or chocolate wafer cookies
Cooked fruit: cinnamon apple slices, peaches, chopped oranges
