Common Questions

Can I make these mini egg waffles egg-free?

• It won’t hold together quite the same, but you can try using a plant-based egg replacement.

Can I use a regular-sized waffle iron?

• Yes! You’ll just want to double or triple the mixture so it fills the space better.

Do I need to cook the veggies first?

• Nope! Tomato and spinach are soft on their own. If you add other veggies, as long as they’re chopped really small, they’ll soften while the waffle cooks.
