Savory Cottage Cheese Waffles

Cottage cheese packs these hearty waffles with plenty of protein. Shredded Cheddar and green onions are folded into the easy blender batter for extra savory flavor, and a fresh vegetable topping rounds out the brunch-ready meal. Add a fried egg for even more staying power.

Ingredients

> 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
> 4 Pete & Gerry's Organic Pasture Raised Eggs
> 1/4 cup vegetable oil
> 1 cup all-purpose flour
> 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
> 1/2 tsp salt
> 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
> 1/2 cup chopped green onions
> Cooking spray
> 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
> 1 avocado, peeled and sliced
> Chopped parsley (optional)

Steps

1
To a blender, add the cottage cheese, eggs, and oil. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just incorporated (do not overmix). Fold in the cheese and green onions. Let batter rest 10 min. Grease a waffle iron with the cooking spray and preheat on medium.
2
Spoon about ½ cup batter into waffle iron and close (the exact amount will depend on your waffle iron). Cook 4–5 min., until waffle is golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing iron before each waffle.
3
To serve, top with the tomatoes, avocado, and parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips

Keep cooked waffles warm in a 250°F oven until ready to serve. To top waffles with eggs, coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat on medium high. Crack 4 large eggs into skillet. Cook 1–2 min., until whites are mostly set. Cover skillet and cook 2 min. more, until yolks reach desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper and top waffles.
