- 1 large egg
- 2 cups crumbled leftover stuffing*
- Options for serving: leftover turkey and gravy; fried or soft-boiled eggs (or style of preference); cranberry sauce
Stuffing Waffles
Yield: 2 large waffles (recipe can be multiplied easily)
A quick and easy way to reinvent leftover stuffing. For a filling meal anytime of day, top with leftover turkey and gravy, a fried egg, cranberry sauce or whatever sounds good to you!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium or large bowl, whisk the egg and then stir in the leftover stuffing until evenly coated with the egg.
- Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the prepared waffle iron. (My waffle iron makes two 5-inch-square waffles. If you have a larger iron, this amount of “batter” may cover half of the iron.) Close the lid and let the waffle cook until golden brown and lightly crisp.
- Transfer the waffles to a serving plate and enjoy with toppings of choice.
Notes
*Stuffing waffles work best with basic stuffing, meaning stuffing that doesn’t include large pieces of veggies or meat.
Hint: Sometimes I use all of the leftover stuffing for these waffles and then, once cool, wrap and refrigerate what we won’t be eating immediately. One waffle is quite filling and makes a complete meal when served with some protein-rich turkey or an egg on top. Leftover waffles are easy to reheat in a toaster oven (or regular oven) for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
