Ingredients
2 eggs
200 ml milk
2 tablespoons yogurt
150 g flour
50 g melted butter
100 g shredded cheese blend
100–120 g cooked bacon, cut into small cubes
150 g sautéed mushrooms (champignon or white mushrooms), roughly chopped
50 g fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped spring onion or garlic powder for extra flavor
Preparation method
- A little tip to save time in the morning: you can prepare the bacon and mushrooms the night before, sauté them and store them in the fridge until the next day. This way, putting everything together in the morning becomes quick and effortless.
If you’d like to switch things up a bit, the bacon can be replaced with smoked ham or pancetta, and the mushrooms can be swapped for zucchini or roasted peppers, for a slightly different but equally delicious version.
With these ingredients ready, we’re all set to move on to the fun part: making the waffles!
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly with a fork or a whisk. Add the milk, yogurt, and melted butter, then mix until you get a smooth and creamy batter.
- Fold in the flour mixed with the baking powder, and stir gently until the batter comes together, with a few small lumps – that’s perfectly normal. The texture should be slightly thicker than pancake batter, yet still fluid enough to pour into the waffle maker.
Add the sautéed bacon and mushrooms, the spinach, and the cheese blend, folding everything carefully so the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. - Preheat the waffle maker and lightly grease it with a bit of melted butter if needed. Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the waffle maker and cook the waffles until they turn golden, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the cheese gently melting and blending perfectly with the flavors of the bacon and mushrooms.
- Serve them immediately, warm, either on their own or with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a quick garlic sauce, for a truly memorable weekend breakfast or brunch.
- They are perfect for lazy weekends, family brunches, or any morning when you want to turn an ordinary day into something special. Give them a try and share your experience in the comments – I’m curious to see who will be the first to fall in love with this irresistible combination!
