Preparation
- Serving size:5.70 oz (calculated)Notes: 1 waffle with a diameter of about 17 cm or 6 3/4 in
- Use a food processor to blend the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice. Alternatively, use a grater to grate the cauliflower.
- Mix the cauliflower rice with the three grated cheeses, chives and the spices. Omit or reduce the red pepper flakes if you don't like it spicy.
- Mix in the beaten eggs.
- Spread one serving (a bit less than 3/4 cup or 160 g) in a preheated waffle iron (medium heat) and cook for about 10 minutes or until the cheeses have melted together and browned.
- We used a waffle iron that makes thinner waffles with a diameter of 17 cm or 6 3/4 in. If using a different waffle iron, you may want to use more or less of the mix.
- Enjoy by itself or with your favorite spread. For example, try topping it with poached eggs, ham and Sauce Hollondaise for low-carb Eggs Benedict, or with a fish spread (salmon or tuna mixed with cream cheese, mayo, ... and herbs). If you're using a rectangular waffle iron or a circular one divided in quarters, the waffles also make perfect sandwich "buns" for a meal on the go.
- You can store the waffles in an airtight container for 5 days in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight. Reheat the oven for a crisper finish or in the microwave. You can also enjoy them at room temperature, of course.
