Description
Deliciously crispy and cheesy hash brown waffles that make for a great breakfast or brunch dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup chopped turkey ham
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or neutral oil (for waffle iron)
Instructions
- Prep the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron. Lightly grease it with melted butter or oil to prevent sticking. Trust me, that crispy golden crust depends on a hot, well-greased surface.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the thawed shredded hash browns, cheddar cheese, chopped turkey ham, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until everything is evenly coated. It should be a chunky, cheesy mixture — don’t overmix.
- Cook the Waffles: Scoop a generous amount of the mixture into the center of your preheated waffle iron and spread it slightly to the edges. Close the lid and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until deeply golden and crisp. You’ll know it’s ready when the steam slows down and the edges look browned.
- Repeat and Serve: Remove the waffle carefully with a fork or tongs, and repeat with the remaining mixture. Serve hot, optionally topped with sour cream, chopped green onions, or a fried egg for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the mixture.
- Serve immediately after cooking for the best texture.
