Egg and Cheese Waffles

September 1, 2022 By Fareen Leave a Comment

Egg and cheese waffles are a perfect addition to any school lunch or quick snack in between extra curricular activities.

September is here and along with it comes school lunches, and packed schedules after school. It is going to be busy! While I’m looking forward to the routine, school lunches are not my favourite thing. It’s important for me that the kids get something that is nutritious and will keep them full but I also want to make sure that it is something that they will actually eat. Having a full lunch come back can be a very frustrating thing.

One thing the kids never tire of is waffles. It doesn’t really matter what’s in them, they see a waffle and they are happy. These egg and cheese waffles do double duty in keeping both mamma happy with the nutritional value and kids happy with the taste and fun.

Eggs are nutrient-dense and contain all nine essential amino acids. They are full of so many vitamins and minerals which include iron, vitamins A, B12, D, E, folate, selenium, lutein and choline. From building tissues, repairing muscles, maintaining healthy skin and eyes, eggs are like superheroes. You can find all this information and more on the Egg Farmers of Alberta’s site here.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. The basics are just eggs and cheese. The addition of the cheese creates a crust when the eggs are cooking in the waffle maker, making the waffles crispy and sturdy.  They won’t get soggy in a lunch box which is important. Soggy lunches do not get eaten. I use Italian seasoning to give it that extra bit of flavour.

Mini waffle makers are great for this recipe. They are the perfect size for little hands and it makes them fit easier in various bento boxes. It’s easy to make up a batch that will last for a few days of lunches. The waffles are great for on-the-go, when rushing after school to and from activities.
