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:
