SAVORY WAFFLES WITH ASPARAGUS, GRUYERE AND ONION



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

SAVORY WAFFLES



Savory Waffles image

"One thing my kids really love," says Chef Linton Hopkins, "is when it's raining outside at lunchtime and we make a batch of savory waffles. Instead of sugar and syrup, we just fold in Parmesan and Gruyère, if I have some sitting in the refrigerator, and salt and pepper. We have a waffle iron that has shapes of animals and a barn, so I ask my kids, 'Do you want to be the pig today? Or the chicken? Or have a cow?'?" Try adding herbs and other seasonal produce, like pumpkin puree, to the batter instead of cheese. In the springtime you can add sautéed and chopped asparagus to the batter.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups waffle and pancake mix
2 eggs
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
3/4 cup grated rennet-free Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated rennet-free Gruyère or similar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees and place a waiting plate to warm inside. Heat a waffle maker until a flick of water beads and bounces around.
  • In a bowl, add waffle mix, eggs, milk, oil, salt and pepper, and mix until just combined, adding more milk if the mix is too thick. It should be the consistency of pudding. Then fold in the cheeses.
  • Lightly butter the waffle maker, and spoon judicious dollops of the mix onto the center of the hot waffle iron and spread just a bit. The mix will spread when the lid closes and expand as it cooks, so adding too much will be a bit messy as it bubbles out the sides.
  • As the waffles finish, use a fork to lift them off and put them in the oven to stay warm while the rest are made. Waffles are best served warm. Freeze any leftover waffles to enjoy later.

ASPARAGUS GRUYERE TART



Asparagus Gruyere Tart image

Especially when made with plump, in-season asparagus, this dish makes for a sophisticated, visually pleasing appetizer.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Flour, for work surface
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
5 1/2 ounces (2 cups) Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 1/2 pounds medium or thick asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Trim uneven edges. Place pastry on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score pastry dough 1 inch in from the edges to mark a rectangle. Using a fork, pierce dough inside the markings at 1/2-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove pastry shell from oven, and sprinkle with Gruyere. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit crosswise inside the tart shell; arrange in a single layer over Gruyere, alternating ends and tips. Brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until spears are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect waffle consistency, ensure your waffle iron is preheated and well-greased.
  • For optimal flavor, use high-quality Gruyère cheese that has aged for at least 12 months.
  • Feel free to experiment with different toppings for your savory waffles, such as fried or poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, or even pulled pork.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • These waffles can be made ahead of time and reheated in a toaster or oven.

Conclusion:

These savory waffles with asparagus, Gruyère, and onion are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful meal, give these waffles a try!
