Dress Up Your Eggo Waffle

By Molly Stein at University of Pennsylvania

Looking to step up your breakfast game? Bored with plain Eggo waffles and syrup? It’s time to amp up your whole-wheat waffle with some badass topping combinations. They are simple, impressive and taste pretty gourmet. Simply start with a naked Eggo waffle, toasted to perfection and add the toppings. You can go savory or sweet, but all my combos are vegetarian.

Here are 8 suggestions to jumpstart your experimenting:

Plate 1, clockwise:

• Chevré Silver goat cheese, d’anjou pear, raw clover honey
• Nutella, strawberry, whipped cream
• Reduced-fat cream cheese, Trader Joe’s brand lemon curd, lemon zest
• Breakstone’s 1% milkfat cottage cheese, pineapple, sprinkle of nutmeg

Plate 2, clockwise:

• Peanut butter, raspberry jam, banana, garnished with a roasted peanut
• Blueberry Greek yogurt, topped with blueberries
• Morning Star vegan breakfast sausage, shredded Daiya cheese, topped with Sriracha
• Vegan fried “chick’n”, pure maple syrup, rosemary garnish

Hungry for more? Make yourself a loaded waffle peanut butter, jelly, banana and strawberries. It makes for a great, filling breakfast that will power you through your upcoming finals.
