Egg & Cheese Waffle Recipe

Total Time: 35mins | Serves: 2

Ever wake up super happy and want to start the day in the best way possible, food wise? Wow, today was one of those days for me. It was part inspiration, part hunger, et voila! This was too good. In all the ways possible!

I don’t eat gluten, so I used Vans GF Waffles. If you’ve never had these before, you’re seriously missing out! They are gluten, dairy, egg and some are also soy free. I recommend the Ancient Grains or the Flax, or if you like to keep it simple, go for the Totally Original. You wont be sorry you tried these. They are very YUMMY! You can find them at your local health food store, or maybe even at your nearest grocery.

Also, if you are lactose intolerant, like me, you may want to try sheep’s and goat’s milk products. It’s much easier to digest, and you can still enjoy your cheeses! It works for me. I hope it works for you too! Here I used Trader Joe’s imported Manchego Anejo Cheese from Spain. It’s sheep’s cheese and oh sooo good!

I paired this delightful dish with some yogurt (I go for goat’s) with some blueberries and fig jam … Oh my, you wouldn’t believe how good this is all together! First time I tried it, I smiled and ran around shoving spoons into people’s mouths. Haha, if you like figs, then go for St. Dalfours’ Royal Fig Jam. It’s imported from France and usually found at Whole Foods or other Specialty Markets. For this recipe, I used the flax waffles. I stopped eating gluten about 2-1/2 years ago, so when I came across these, I was so happy. They are just so versatile, and even my husband loves them! Hooray! Lots of goodies here. I truly hope you enjoy this recipe! It was made with love found from all over the world 😉 Please do share how yours turned out.

  8. Slice up the manchego cheese into thin pieces.
  9. Check on your eggs and waffles. If done, remove from heat and toaster. Place Waffles, 2 & 2 on flat plates.
