Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium zucchini (each 9 ounces), coarsely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed
10 ounces baby spinach
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup finely grated Gruyere
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus sprigs for serving
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
4 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon

Steps:

  • Sprinkle zucchini with 1 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Transfer to a colander and let stand 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil and garlic in a medium skillet over medium-high until garlic begins to sizzle. Add spinach and cook, tossing, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Squeeze zucchini dry in a large potato ricer or a clean kitchen towel; transfer to a bowl. Stir in eggs, cheese, scallions, and dill. Pour over flour mixture and gently stir to combine. (Batter will be very thick.)
  • Spray waffle iron with cooking spray. Spoon one-quarter of batter (about 1/2 cup) into center; spread into a 5-inch circle and close. Cook until golden brown and crisp, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer directly to the rack of a 200-degree oven to keep warm while cooking remaining waffles. Serve warm, with spinach, creme fraiche, and salmon, sprinkled with dill sprigs and pepper.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium zucchini, shredded
1 (10 ounce) box frozen spinach, thawed and well drained
1 (8 ounce) package breakfast sausage
1 cup yellow onion, diced
3 medium yukon gold potatoes, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
1 small medium bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • To make the waffles, whisk together the butter, eggs, milk and vanilla until well combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add in the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the zucchini and spinach. Pour 1/3 cup batter into each cavity of a preheated waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crispy, according to your iron's directions. Transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack set over a baking sheet, to prevent from getting soggy while you continue cooking the rest.
  • To make the hash, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sausage and begin breaking it up with a wooden spoon, cooking until brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Stir in the onion, potatoes, carrots, and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium, stirring often, until the potatoes and carrots have softened, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve the waffles with a spoonful of the hash on top. Garnish with parsley and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini. Older zucchini tends to be more watery, which can lead to soggy waffles.
  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the batter and prevent the waffles from becoming too dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
  • Cook the waffles on a hot waffle iron. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Zucchini waffles are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
