Bacon and Spinach Egg Waffles
From: Karen @ holisticallyengineered.com/
When I ran across an article about different things that can be cooked in a waffle iron I was surprised to see eggs on the list. Low carb/paleo folks typically eat lots of eggs so naturally I had to try out this crazy method for cooking eggs and put my own spin on it of course.
The good thing about the waffle iron method is that you don’t have to constantly be watching over the eggs (stirring, flipping, etc). You can just pour the eggs in and come back in 3-4 minutes to a perfectly cooked egg and if you leave it in there a little longer it will get darker, but not really burn (yes it’s possible to burn…don’t leave it in there all day). Another bonus of this method is that your breakfast is on the go. You can grab the waffle and head out the door on those busy mornings.
Makes: 1 or 2
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1 Tbsp coconut milk or heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 strips of bacon, cooked and cut into bits
Handful of spinach, chopped
Instructions:
Whisk together the eggs and coconut milk (or heavy cream).
Add the salt and pepper (to your preference) and whisk to combine.
Heat a Belgium waffle iron or any waffle iron and grease it with coconut oil (or butter)
Pour the egg mixture into the waffle iron until the bottom is just covered.
Quickly top with bacon bits and spinach and close the lid (you could also add cheese at this point, if desired)
Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the eggs puff up.
Carefully remove the waffle with a fork.
Top with ghee (or butter) and shredded cheese, if desired
