Zucchini & Parmesan Savory Waffles

Recipe Description

I love zucchini season because it means I can make batches of these Zucchini & Parmesan Savory Waffles all the time! I think this recipe is one of my most versatile recipes. While I never deviate from the ingredients listed, I tend to serve these in different ways every time: with salads, grilled meat or rice. One of my favorite things is to make extra and serve these waffles with a boiled or fried egg the next morning for breakfast. Yum!

To make this zucchini waffle couldn’t be simpler. Start by squeezing out all the moisture from the zucchini. Make a waffle batter by combining egg, milk, flour, Parmesan and Italian seasoning. Add in the zucchini and stir until everything is well combined. Place spoonfuls of batter on the waffle iron and cook for about 3-5 minutes until lightly browned. Serve sprinkled with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

To make Zucchini & Parmesan Savory Waffles, you will need the following ingredients:

These waffles are fantastic! I made them last weekend, and paired with a fresh salad, they were a hit. Perfect for brunch! Zucchini is my go-to when in season, and combining it with Parmesan was a great idea. So delicious!
