Whole Grain Savory Waffles W/ Spicy Queso Sauce & Eggs
- Whole Grain Savoury Waffles & Eggs
- 2 cups whole grain wheat flour
- 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp white pepper/or red pepper flakes
- 2 rounded TBSP fresh minced garlic
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 TBSP fresh minced garlic (for the eggs)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 8 large eggs
- salt and white pepper to taste
- Spicy Queso Sauce + Garnishes
- 1 sleeve Saltines, crushed
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 6 oz white Mexican cheese (Queso) crumbled
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, minced
- 3 fresh jalapenos, seeded, minced fine
- salt to taste
- 4 oz smoked Gouda, shredded
- 1/2 each of yellow & orange bell peppers, seeded & sliced
- 4 thin slices Cheddar cheese
- Waffles: Add the whole grain flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda and pepper to a large mixing bowl and toss until blended. Add the grated potatoes, minced garlic, 2 eggs and then slowly add 2 cups warm water, being careful not to beat it too much (which makes the waffles tough). Let sit for 5 minutes while your waffle iron heats up. Spray the iron and leave on High for 2 cycles to ensure the potatoes inside are done. Transfer each waffle to a warmed plate.
- Eggs: Mix 8 eggs with the heavy cream and minced garlic, salt and pepper, then whisk until blended and cook slowly in a well-oiled pan. Gently scramble until done--don't let the bottom brown--you want them softly yellow and fresh looking! Divide the scrambled eggs between the 4 waffles, placing a good mound of them in the middle of each waffle.
- Spicy Queso Sauce: In a blender add the crushed crackers, evaporated milk, crumbled Queso, minced cilantro, minced japalenos, and salt. Pulse until fully blended but you don't want it soupy--you are aiming for a medium thickness, rather like a good mayonnaise. Add a little water or more milk if needed, but keep the mix fairly thick. Pour into a bowl and set in the fridge for one hour to let thicken.
- Garnish: Sear the yellow and orange pepper strips in a lightly oiled skillet. Garnish with a slice of Cheddar on top of the hot scrambled eggs, then the grated Gouda, then pour over about a 1/2 cup of spicy Queso sauce and garnish with seared pepper strips. Serve with smoked bacon and dilled fresh tomato slices for a real treat!
