Zaffle (Zucchini) Southwestern Waffle

I couldn’t decide what I wanted to eat for lunch so I got a little creative.  A zaffle is a waffle made using eggs, grated zucchini, shredded cheese, and seasoning.  Then I topped my zaffle with plain nonfat Greek yogurt, salsa, cherry tomatoes, and bell peppers.  I served this over a bed of spinach to truly make it a veggies most meal.

Ingredients:

2 large eggs

1 zucchini grated with a box grater with excess water squeezed out

¼ cup shredded pepper jack cheese

2 tablespoons diced red onion

½ teaspoon chipotle pepper

Toppings: plain nonfat Greek yogurt, salsa, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, avocado

Directions:

1. Preheat a waffle maker to medium heat.
2. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl.  Add grated zucchini, onion, and cheese.  Mix to combine.
3. Spray waffle maker with olive oil spray. Transfer mixture to waffle maker and cook until golden and crispy.
4. Top your zaffle with any desired toppings.
