Savory Waffles with Asparagus, Gruyere and Onion image

I took one of our family's favorite puff pastry recipes, which uses a similar mix of ingredients, and translated it to savory waffles. It's a change of pace from sweeter fare. Served with a ham steak and fried eggs, it makes a fabulous meal. Feel free to add maple syrup or a spicy glaze. -Leslie Ponce, Miami, Florida

These waffles were amazing! The asparagus and Gruyère were a perfect combination and the waffles were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
